Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (clinical case)

A clinical case of treatment of a 64-year-old patient with cardiac arrest is presented. In the complex of resuscitation measures, an automatic chest compression machine was used, and upon admission to the hospital, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was connected as the main method of maintaining effective blood circulation as soon as possible. The interaction of a multidisciplinary team was demonstrated, the features of decision-making when choosing a hemodynamic support method, the complications that arose and possible difficulties were described.
