Article Synopsis
- VA-ECMO techniques have advanced and are particularly beneficial for patients with reversible low cardiac output, such as the case of a 21-year-old male with congenital heart disease who experienced severe shock following an upper gastrointestinal bleed.
- Initial treatments included intubation, fluid resuscitation, and emergency endoscopy to control active bleeding, but the patient's condition worsened, leading to the need for VA-ECMO support due to severe ventricular dysfunction and high lactate levels.
- After optimizing care in the ICU and adjusting ventilation strategies, the patient's condition stabilized, allowing for extubation and the discontinuation of certain medications, reflecting a positive recovery trajectory.
