Article Synopsis
- Bacterial pneumonia can cause serious breathing problems, and sometimes patients need a special treatment called veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) when regular ventilation doesn't work.
- A case study was about a 39-year-old woman with severe pneumonia and other health issues who needed 30 days of ECMO and over 50 days on a breathing machine, facing many complications.
- The doctors believe that even badly damaged lungs can heal if given enough time and the right care, which might change how doctors decide to use ECMO in the future.
