Abstract
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and carbon dioxide remo val was utilized to support a patient with traumatic bronchial disrupt ion and associated injuries. With use of surface-heparinized perfusion equipment, low levels of anticoagulation were maintained allowing sur gical repair of the bronchial injury and recovery from acute respirato ry failure without significant hemorrhage.
