Abstract
Aim: Severe trauma with is a cause of death either due to fatal injuries without any treatment option or due to life threatening complications in the early course. Early complications such as bleeding shock and/or severe respiratory failure following chest trauma or massive blood transfusion are a major task in the treatment of these patients. Massive blood transfusions may result in decreased cardiac output and pulmonary gas exchange, and either massive blood transfusion or pulmonary contusion may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In these cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a lifesaving treatment may improve or take over the gas exchange function of the lung or provide additional cardio-circulatory support.
