Drop foot post-ECMO, subsequently complicated by third-degree burns: A case report based on user portrait and health management journey map.

ABSTRACT: The long-term complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have not been well documented, especially the rare lower extremity drop foot (LEDF). Understanding the mechanisms and management of such complications is critical to improving patient outcomes. What is the role of patient-based on user portrait and health management journey map (HMJM) for rehabilitation management of patients with post-intensive care syndrome (PICS)? We reported a case of a patient who developed LEDF after receiving ECMO for severe heart failure. The patient's user profile revealed a 17-year-old female athlete with a past history of hypertension. After treatment with ECMO, the patient developed LEDF with loss of sensation and motor deficits resulting in third-degree burns, which were inadvertently ca
