Tamer Jamal, Amjad Shalabi, Liza Grosman-Rimon, Diab Ghanim, Offer Amir, Erez Kachel: Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Electrical Injury Induced Cardiogenic Shock Support: A Case Report (J Cardiothorac Surg.)

High voltage electrical injury (HVEI) of more than 1000 V is a potentially devastating form of a multisystem injury associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present the first case of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a life saving device for treating a patient with severe cardiogenic shock after a high voltage electrical injury.
