Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannulation is a potential cause of episodic bradycardia during an intensive care course because of the proximal cannula insertion site being in the vicinity of the carotid sinus. Herein, we report the case of episodic bradycardia throughout a multi-week intensive care stay of a VV-ECMO recipient due to a severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection that did not emerge for the rest of the patient's hospitalization after decannulation.
静脉-静脉体外膜肺氧合(VV-ECMO)插管是重症监护过程中偶发性心动过缓的一个潜在原因,因为近端插管插入部位靠近颈动脉窦。在此,我们报告一例因严重的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染而在VV-ECMO接受者长达数周的重症监护期间出现偶发性心动过缓的病例,该心动过缓在拔管后患者住院的剩余时间未再出现。
