Pregnant women occupy a special place in the incidence structure of the new coronavirus infection COVID -19. Taking into account the likelihood of a more severe course of acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in this group, it is worth remembering the possibility of timely use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (IV ECMO) in order to correct life-threatening hypoxia. At the Lapino Clinical Hospital, a cesarean section was successfully performed in a 37-year-old female patient at 20–21 weeks of gestation against the background of IV ECMO with further decannulation  and discharge from the hospital.
