Abstract

The article focuses on the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following a near-drowning incident combined with low-voltage electrocution. Topics include the use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) as a rescue therapy for severe ARDS, the challenges in diagnosing drowning-associated pneumonia, and the successful outcomes of ECMO treatment for drowning victims.
