Abstract
Pandemic influenza particularly often is associated with symptoms of acute respiratory failure, and in case of refractory
hypoxemia patients may have indications for the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The paper presents a case
of a pandemic influenza virus infection, where classical indications for veno-venous ECMO occured. Practical aspects of this
kind of treatment in the intensive care unit are discussed.
