Disclosed is a multifunctional balloon dilatation catheter for intracorporeal membrane oxygenation, comprising: a catheter hub, a dilatation balloon, and M channels. The M channels comprise at least a balloon dilatation channel for dilating the narrowed part of the airway, a positioning & detection channel for positioning or detecting while inserting, a supply channel for continuous oxygen supply or drug administration to the patient, and a secretion removal channel for removing secretions from the airway. The catheter hub is a multi-channel connection device, through which the M channels are respectively connected to the external therapeutic devices of the catheter. The catheter is inserted into a bronchiole of the lungs. When using the catheter for emergency treatment of patients with pneumonia, especially COVID-19, measures such as airway dilatation, oxygen supply, sputum suction and biopsy can be simultaneously performed, thereby improving the survival rate of patients and reducing lung damage.
