The survival rate of infants whose mothers Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a method for supporting patients with severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) refractory to mechanical ventilation [1] [2] [3] . Accordingly, we now report on the various technical aspects and challenges of ECMO therapy in this cohort of pregnant and postpartum women with severe respiratory failure and describe maternal and infant outcomes. We studied the technical challenges, efficacy, complications and maternal and infant outcomes in a cohort of critically ill pregnant and postpartum patients with severe, hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to ARDS during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic who were treated with ECMO.	./cache/cord-005738-gsy95f2y.txt	./txt/cord-005738-gsy95f2y.txt
