INTRODUCTION: Conservative management is usually preferred for iatrogenic tracheal injuries. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is mostly used in acute refractory hypoxemia, airway lesions are an alternative indication.
CASE REPORT: A 51-year-old female was transferred with a large tracheal tear after plastic tracheotomy. Due to a critical ventilation situation with hypercapnia, conservative management was set and V-V ECMO was installed. With optimized tube positioning, minimal ventilation and gas transfer via V-V ECMO, a complete healing of the injury could be achieved.
DISCUSSION: Fast diagnosis of tracheal injuries is essential; transfer to a specialized centre should be considered. In our case, organ support via ECMO was necessary due to a difficult ventilation situation with persisting hypercapnia. Thus, reduction in ventilation pressures with reduction of possible leakage and healing of the tracheal tear could be achieved.
CONCLUSION: Management of tracheal tears is complex; in severe cases special therapy concepts such as the use of V-V ECMO may become necessary.
