The case we have described is characterized by the effectiveness of therapy despite resuscitation lasting more than one hour. A 3.5-year-old girl with a negative medical history was admitted to the Department of Cardiology due to ectopic atrial tachycardia. It was decided to perform electrical cardioversion under intravenous anaesthesia. During the induction of anaesthesia, cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) occurred. Despite resuscitation, a permanent hemodynamically effective heart rhythm was not achieved. Due to prolonged resuscitation (over one hour) and persistent PEA, it was decided to use veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. After three days of intensive ECMO therapy, hemodynamic stabilization was achieved. The time of implementing ECMO therapy and assessment of the initial clinical status of the patient should be emphasized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10020378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]],"date-time":"2023-02-15T02:31:23Z","timestamp":1676428283000},"page":"378","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation\u2014A Chance for Survival after Sudden Cardiac Arrest"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8723-6865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Damps","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Upper Silesian Child Health Centre, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, Medyk\u00f3w 16, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Buczy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and General Pediatric Surgery, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5777-3835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Wiktor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Upper Silesian Child Health Centre, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1097\/MAT.0000000000001344","article-title":"Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Adults.
