Does ECMO rescue patients with refractory cardiocirculatory collapse due to severe flecainide intoxication?
ECMO is an effective rescue therapy for refractory cardiocirculatory collapse caused by severe flecainide overdose, providing hemodynamic support until drug clearance.
Auzinger et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Severe flecainide intoxication (n=1). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was evaluated on Recovery from refractory cardiocirculatory collapse. Emergency ECMO successfully resuscitated a 30-year-old male in refractory cardiocirculatory collapse following severe flecainide overdose, allowing for full recovery after 26 hours of support.
