ECMO Flow was achieved after approximately 1 hour of high quality CPR. In this case, profound shock for 1 hour would result in the same degree of infarction. The Type 2 MI would then have been a result of the prolonged severe shock while in arrest. After good ECMO flow was established, she was successfully defibrillated.
