SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF A COVID-19-POSITIVE PREGNANT WOMAN WHILE SUPPORTED BY VV ECMO

ABSTRACT

B Description b We present a case of a 36-year-old patient, G2P1001 at a gestational age of 26 weeks and 4 days with severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 infection, requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation who underwent successful cesarean section while on ECMO. B Introduction: b Severe Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection has been reported in both pregnant and postpartum women despite young age and lack of comorbidities. While there are no randomized clinical trials demonstrating improved outcomes in peripartum women, current literature supports the use of ECMO in both pregnant and postpartum patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
