Polytrauma mit schwerem Lungenparenchymschaden. Fr³hzeitiger Einsatz der extrakorporalen Membranoxygenierung.
2006
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique for sustaining body oxygenation in case of respiratory failure. Since ECMO technology has undergone improvements resulting in better hemo-compatibility and reduced side effects, venovenous ECMO is a mostly accepted treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). One should discuss the early initiation of ECMO therapy for post-traumatic respiratory failure. We report about a 23-year-old male and a 15-year-old female patient, who suffered polytrauma and received early treatment with ECMO because of severe lung contusion.
