Description

A man in his fifties who developed COVID-19 pneumonia during the second wave of COVID-19 outbreak in Japan was received mechanical ventilation due to progressive respiratory failure. As he developed severe respiratory failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was initiated. Although he was attempted to be weaned from ECMO, it was insufficient to maintain his oxygenation by using mechanical ventilation due to collapsed lung. In order to promote expansion of the lungs and airways and weaning from ECMO, recruitment maneuvers were applied to the patient. Moreover, he successfully weaned off from mechanical ventilation, and finally was able to walk without assistance by long-time rehabilitation.
