AbstractDiffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a serious disease whose main clinical manifestations are hemoptysis and dyspnea. In some cases, invasive mechanical ventilation is ineffective and patients can die quickly. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a supportive therapy that can provide oxygenation support to patients when mechanical ventilation fails. This article reports successful early initiation of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) in an emergency department to rescue an adult patient with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage caused by viral pneumonia.Copyright © 2020 The Authors.
