Abstract
We describe the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a 30-year old woman at 37 weeks' gestation, following cardiac arrest from pulmonary embolism immediately post-partum from an emergent Caesarean section. In this case, ECMO was initiated though modified techniques with only the equipment available in a delivery room as a last resort to save a new mother after a significant downtime of 83 min. The patient received tissue plasminogen activator during the resuscitation resulting in significant blood loss. However, the patient was stabilized on ECMO and after 5 weeks in the intensive care unit achieved complete physical and neurologic recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case where ECMO has been used in a resuscitation from massive pulmonary embolism immediately post-partum, after thombolytics were administered. Here, we discuss our strategies for emergent cannulation in a suboptimal environment, management of profound bleeding and oxygenation strategies in this hostile setting. Given the potential for success and the significant life-years gained, aggressive measures, such as ECMO, should be considered in such extreme life-threatening cases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
