Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides mechanical cardiopulmonary support and has been used for children with severe respiratory failure, intractable heart failure, sepsis, pulmonary hypertension, and as a bridge to heart transplantation. There have been few reports of the use of ECMO to provide cardiac support in children with low cardiac output as a result of arrhythmias. We report the case of a 15-year-old female with circulatory collapse due to refractory ventricular arrhythmia after one and a half repair in Ebstein's anomaly, who was successfully resuscitated using ECMO.

Keywords: Extracorporeal circulation, Arrhythmia
