Background: We present the case of a 12-year-old female with severe postoperative bacterial pneumonia unresponsive to conventional treatment following a failed renal transplant.
Case Report: The patient was placed on low flow veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as an adjuvant treatment to antibiotic therapy and maximal ventilatory support. Venous ECMO resulted in rapid improvement and the patient was successfully weaned after 48 hours of circulatory assistance.
