Three scenarios are presented, based on real patients, illustrating various
clinical dilemmas involving critical illness and extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO). The scenarios are outlined in the form of questions and
answers. In most cases there is no single correct answer to the dilemmas
presented. The pros and cons of particular interventions are discussed along with
the actual treatment provided. In all cases, the ECMO circuit consisted of a
polymethylpentene oxygenator (Quadrox PLS; MAQUET Cardiovascular, Hirlingen,
Germany) and a centrifugal pump (Rotaflow; MAQUET Cardiovascular). Case 2 has
been previously published as a letter to the editor (1).
