Abstract： Report a patient who underwent VV ECMO after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patient experienced cardiac arrest caused by hypokalemia and underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation. After surgery, the patient regained their autonomous heart rate, but myocardial damage had already occurred. In addition, factors such as hypertension and severe pulmonary infection induced acute left heart failure, increased left heart load led to increased pulmonary circulation pressure, ultimately leading to pulmonary edema. The alveolar epithelium was further damaged on the basis of the original infection damage, ultimately leading to severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction. The ECMO team evaluated the patient and decided to undergo VV ECMO. Scientifically apply nursing procedures to provide treatment care, observation care, daily care, rehabilitation care, psychological care, and other nursing interventions to effectively prevent related complications and successfully recover and discharge from the hospital; Scientific nursing procedures are key to ensuring patient prognosis, successfully improving their quality of life, and returning to normal social life.
