Meconium Aspiration Treated with Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Abstract
We report the first Indonesian baby delivered by cesarean section and developed into metabolic acidosis, severe respiratory failure due to meconium aspiration accompanied by right pneumothorax. The case was successfully managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
