Abstract：Objective To summarize and analyze early outcomes of 67 consecutive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cases performed in Fuwai Hospital, and to interrogate the effects of combining extra - corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP) on the treatment of critically ill adult patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 67 adult patients who received ECMO treatment from January 2010 to December 2014. The patients were divided into ECMO group and combined ECMO and IABP group and their outcomes were compared. Results Forty-two patients were in ECMO group, with the mortality of 38.1％ while 25 patients were in combined ECMO and IABP group, with the mortality of 48％. More hemolytic cases were observed in combined group (28％ vs 4.8％, P = 0.011). Conclusions Combined ECMO and IABP treatment does not increase mortality in patients, but it may increase the incidence of hemolysis.
