Article Synopsis
- - The case report discusses a rare occurrence of total reversal of pulmonary circulation (RPC) in a 56-year-old man who was on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) during emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation after a heart attack and cardiac arrest.
- - The patient's previously undiagnosed aortic and mitral valve leaks, combined with the effects of V-A ECMO, led to severe pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs.
- - By modifying the ECMO setup to veno-pulmonary arterial-arterial (VPa-A) ECMO and cannulating the pulmonary artery, medical staff were able to relieve the pulmonary edema, but this
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.
