- Abstract
- A 34-year-old man developed severe hypoxemia and hypercapnia due to acute respiratory distress during ventilator care after surgery with acute intracranial hemorrhage. Severe hypoxemia had not been corrected even with maximum extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow and full ventilator settings. We applied a novel technique for the serial connection of two veno-venous ECMO circuits for optimal oxygen delivery and CO2 removal and could wean VV ECMO. The use of serial connection of two VV ECMO circuits may be considered worthwhile when severe hypoxemia or hypercapnia are not improved and the use of protective ventilators is not permitted.
