    AbstractWe present a case with an unusually high transmembrane pressure gradient over the oxygenator during initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This necessitated an immediate emergency oxygenator exchange. A detailed inspection revealed a large lipid formation in the oxygenator. We hypothesize that this lipid was dislodged during the cannulation process.
