Penetrating thoracic injury requiring emergency pneumonectomy supported with two ECMO runs: A testament to multidisciplinary critical care medicine

Post-traumatic pneumonectomies are uncommon and, if necessary, carry significant mortality. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for lung injury in trauma patient has demonstrated efficacy with minimal bleeding complications. We report a case of a young man with a penetrating thorac...

Sumario:Post-traumatic pneumonectomies are uncommon and, if necessary, carry significant mortality. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for lung injury in trauma patient has demonstrated efficacy with minimal bleeding complications. We report a case of a young man with a penetrating thoracic injury that required a pneumonectomy supported with two separate ECMO runs for pulmonary failure postoperatively.
