AI Article Synopsis
- - A 37-year-old male with a nearly obstructing airway tumor near the carina underwent a safe tumor resection using venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO).
- - The procedure involved bifemoral cannulation for VV-ECMO under light sedation while keeping the patient breathing on his own.
- - After successfully removing the tumor via rigid bronchoscopy, the patient was intubated, weaned off ECMO, and monitored during recovery in the postanesthesia care unit.
Article Abstract
We present a case in which we electively used venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) to facilitate safe resection of a nearly obstructing airway tumor near the carina in a 37-year-old male. The patient was brought to the operating room and underwent bifemoral cannulation for VV-ECMO under light sedation while maintaining spontaneous ventilation. After VV-ECMO was initiated, general anesthesia was induced, and the tumor was resected via rigid bronchoscopy. After resection, the patient was intubated, weaned from ECMO, decannulated, awoken, extubated, and taken to the postanesthesia care unit for recovery.
