Abstract

Pandemic influenza particularly often is associated with symptoms of acute respiratory failure, and in case of refractory hypoxemia patients may have indications for the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The paper presents a case of a pandemic influenza virus infection, where classical indications for veno-venous ECMO occured. Practical aspects of this kind of treatment in the intensive care unit are discussed. Kardiol Pol 2011; 69, 4: 416-420.
