Case Report
A 22-year-old male presented to our emergency department following a motor vehicle accident. He was taken to the operating room (OR) for emergent surgery. Due to his condition, he was admitted to the ICU. There, he was difficult to ventilate and ultimately placed onto venous-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). While on ECMO, blood cultures were obtained which were subsequently positive.
