Electrical Impedance Tomography Reveals Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Flow-Induced Ventilation-Perfusion Mismatch

Abstract An obese female patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy was placed on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Despite biventricular recovery by day 3, VA-ECMO..
