ECMO in Tropical Infections – An Outreach (Mobile) ECMO Team Experience
BackgroundTropical infections such as malaria, dengue, and leptospirosis can lead to severe ARDS or refractory shock with high mortality despite optimal care.Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers rescue support in such cases, but its use in tropical settings remains limited due to resource constraints, delayed referral, and insufficient evidence.
