Objectives The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing acute
respiratory distress syndrome had been accepted. Severe lung injury with respiratory failure …

BACKGROUND: Conventional mechanical ventilation is the mainstay of treatment for severe
respiratory failure associated with trauma. However, when extensive lung injury is present …

Purpose To report two cases of acute life-threatening traumatic lung injury, who required
temporary extracorporeal veno-venous membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and airlifting to a …

BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute
respiratory failure after injury is controversial and poorly described. METHODS We reviewed …

BACKGROUND Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) is an
established salvage therapy for severe respiratory failure, and may provide an alternative …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly applied for the
treatment of patients with trauma. Because a common complication of ECMO is bleeding, the …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has achieved widespread adoption for a
variety of medically refractory cardiac and pulmonary conditions. Although most of the …

BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used as an “ultima
ratio” strategy in multiple injured patients with severe thoracic trauma. However, systemic …

Introduction The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in trauma patients
with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) continues to evolve. The objective …

Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the trauma
population has been reported to have a mortality benefit in patients with severe refractory …
