ARDS and Massive Pulmonary Embolism: The Combined Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) with Thrombolytics

ARDS and Massive Pulmonary Embolism: The Combined Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) with Thrombolytics

Pancreatitis causes a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We present a case of severe ARDS complicated by a pulmonary embolism (PE) in a 39-year-old female that developed rapidly progressive pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia.
