Massive hemoptysis managed by rescue extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Massive hemoptysis managed by rescue extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2018 Oct;31(4):479-481 Authors: Endicott-Yazdani TR, Wood C, Trinh AD, Mora A Abstract Massive hemoptysis can have a rapid and potentially fatal clinical course. A 68-year-old woman presented with recurrent hemoptysis complicated by refractory hypoxemia and shock despite aggressive intervention. The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was a nontraditional intervention that ultimately proved to be lifesaving, but is by no means recommended for routine use in this setting.
