1:extensive and diffuse interparenchymal changes in both lungs before
ECMO;
2:the transmittance of both lungs increased after ECMO initiation;
3:the lesions of both lungs were basically absorbed before ECMO
withdraw;
4:the exudation of the lungs was aggravated temporarily after ECMO
withdraw;
5:before the removal of invasive ventilator, the pathological changes
in the lungs were basically absorbed;
6:lung CT in the recovery stage after weaning from the invasive
ventilator;
7:pulmonary lesions were basically absorbed 2 weeks after the
ventilator withdraw;
8:follow-up CT in 1 month after discharge showed nearly normal lungs;
