Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal system of giving delayed cardiovascular and respiratory help to people whose heart and lungs can't give a sufficient measure of gas trade or perfusion to continue life. The innovation for ECMO is to a great extent gotten from cardiopulmonary detour. Most of the time, this technique is utilized for Paediatric cases but these days it has also been used in adults too. ECMO usually works by expelling the blood from the individual's body and artificially evacuating the CO2 and oxygenating Haemoglobins. As of now, the main predictable proof of its effectiveness is with its utilization in intense respiratory disorder. It is likewise being utilized in extreme pulmonary hemorrhage from Leptospirosis to enable the lungs to rest and recuperate. In this case study the role of ECMO in pulmonary hemorrhage secondary to Leptospirosis has been studied. This study has been done on a 28 years old male who was suffering from severe Leptospirosis.
