Veno-arterial-venous extracorporal membrane oxygenation (V-AV ECMO) in a patient in ARDS and cardiac instability after severe polytrauma

Abstract

The role of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in critically ill trauma patients is underutilized, mainly due to concerns of anticoagulation. However, short-term ECLS in these patients can be safely performed with no or minimal systemic anticoagulation. Case series show favorable outcomes in trauma patients with veno-venous (V-V) and veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO, respectively, but there are only a few case reports of successful veno-arterio-venous (V-AV) ECMO in polytrauma patients. We report on a 63-year-old female admitted to our emergency department following a severe car accident who was successfully treated in a multidisciplinary approach, including bridging to damage control surgery and recovery with a V-AV ECMO.
