Gynaecological Laparoscopy Surgery Complicated Into CO2 Embolism, Cardiac Arrest and Severe ARDS Requiring ECMO Therapy.

Key Points

• To discuss complications arising from gynaecological laparoscopy surgery and the role of ECMO therapy.
• Case report of a gynaecological laparoscopy surgery
• Patient presented with CO2 embolism, cardiac arrest, and severe ARDS
• Treatment included extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy.
• Cardiac arrest and severe ARDS developed post-surgery
• Patient required ECMO therapy due to refractory hypoxia
• Favorable outcome was achieved after ECMO intervention.
