Coronavirus 2019 (referred to as COVID-19) has infected millions of people throughout the world. This paper reports on a case of COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in which the patient was administered extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to deal with refractory hypoxia. The patient recovered from ARDS following ECMO treatment. In 1-year follow-up, the muscle weakness persisted, and the pulmonary vital capacity recovered sooner than diffusion capacity.
2019冠状病毒病(简称COVID-19)已在全球感染了数百万人。本文报告了一例由COVID-19引起的急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS),该患者接受了体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)治疗以应对难治性低氧血症。患者在接受ECMO治疗后从ARDS中康复。在1年的随访中,肌无力持续存在,肺肺活量比弥散能力恢复得更快。
