Use of ECMO-method in complex therapy of severe ARDS, complicated by development of pneumothorax. Clinical cases

The article presents two clinical cases of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the complex treatment of secondary acute respiratory distress syndrome at the ineffectiveness and inability of the traditional intensive care. The first case of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with severe pneumonia complicated by the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome and bilateral intense pneumothorax. The second case of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with complicated postoperative cesarean section in the form of development of a syndrome of massive blood transfusion with damage to the lungs and bilateral intense pneumothorax, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a measure of temporary effective replacement of pulmonary function in the impossibility and inefficiency of artificial lung ventilation.
