Can emergency Cesarean section be successfully performed during VV-ECMO in a pregnant woman with A(H1N1) influenza-associated ARDS?
This case demonstrates that emergency Cesarean section can be successfully performed during VV-ECMO in a pregnant woman with severe ARDS, resulting in maternal and fetal survival despite bleeding complications.

ECMO with peripartum C-section may be feasible in late-pregnancy influenza ARDS; leaves open optimal timing and outcomes in larger series.
A 22-year-old pregnant woman (34.6 weeks of pregnancy) with A(H1N1) influenza-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome was admitted to the intensive care unit. Results. The patient was connected to femoral-jugular veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) 2 hours after admission. On the 2nd day of ECMO support, in connection with the beginning of labor activity and a threat to the life of the mother and fetus, the decision was made on the implementation of caesarean section (CS) without the termination of ECMO. CS was performed under general anesthesia, 2 hours after discontinuation of heparin infusion. Were extracted a premature baby girl, weighing 2380 g. Intraoperative period was complicated by atonic uterine bleeding, requiring a hysterectomy. On the 16th day the patient was successfully weaned from ECMO and was discharged after 11 days. The newborn was discharged from the clinic in a satisfactory condition after 24 days with a weight of 2860 g. Conclusion. This is the first case in Russia of successful use of ECMO and emergency cesarean section (CS) during ECMO in a pregnant woman with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to complications of influenza A(H1N1).

Скопец et al. (2019) conducted a case report in A(H1N1) influenza-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during pregnancy (n=1). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and emergency Cesarean section was evaluated on Maternal and fetal survival and successful weaning from ECMO. Emergency Cesarean section was successfully performed without terminating veno-venous ECMO in a 22-year-old pregnant woman with severe A(H1N1) influenza-associated ARDS, resulting in maternal and fetal survival.
