Pulmonary lobectomy in two multitrauma patients under extracorporeal circulation placed preoperatively in an intensive care unit: A case report

The clinical course of our two patients highlights the feasibility of using venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with heparin for multitraumatic patients needing thoracic surgery. Further research is required to determine if surgery can be performed with totally heparin‐free vv‐ECMO...

Sumario:The clinical course of our two patients highlights the feasibility of using venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with heparin for multitraumatic patients needing thoracic surgery. Further research is required to determine if surgery can be performed with totally heparin‐free vv‐ECMO. All ICU teams should become familiar with this technique.
