To the best of our knowledge, this was the first case in which ECMO was combined with HFOV and prone positioning to treat severe necrotic CA-MRSA pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax. This combination therapy may provide safe respiratory support, may minimize the risk of barotrauma, and provide better drainage of secretions in patients with necrotizing pneumonia.
