Not just a matter of weight: A case report of ECMO treatment in a severely obese patient

The ELSO Guidelines list a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2) among the relative contraindications to give ECMO treatment in SARS – COV2 patients. We describe a case of a 52-year-old with BMI 50.21 kg/m(2), admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe respiratory conditions and successfully treated with extr...

description The ELSO Guidelines list a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2) among the relative contraindications to give ECMO treatment in SARS – COV2 patients. We describe a case of a 52-year-old with BMI 50.21 kg/m(2), admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe respiratory conditions and successfully treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The application of veno-venous (VV) ECMO will evolve as far as we understand the pathophysiology of the COVID-19 disease and will probably have a determinant role in management of patient with refractory hypoxemia, whose ventilation management is difficult, even in case of severe obesity.
