Patient’s x-ray and CT scan imaging studies. 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;
