A case of thyroid emergency with cardiac arrest supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

@#Thyroid emergency is a rare but potent ially life-threatening condition if not recognized early and managed properly. It is usually due to a severe exacerbation of a preexisting thyrotoxicosis, which later leads to decompensation in different organ systems. The treatment of thyroid emergency remains challenging even with the armamentarium of modern intensive care technologies, especially in patients with cardiac failure and major organ dysfunction.[1–3] Herein, the authors described a case of thyroid emergency with cardiac arrest (CA) supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
