[Polytrauma with severe lung contusion. Early use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation].

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique for sustaining body oxygenation in case of respiratory failure. Since ECMO technology has undergone improvements resulting in better hemo-compatibility and reduced side effects, venovenous ECMO is a mostly accepted treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). One should discuss the early initiation of ECMO therapy for post-traumatic respiratory failure. We report about a 23-year-old male and a 15-year-old female patient, who suffered polytrauma and received early treatment with ECMO because of severe lung contusion.

[Thoracic injuries associated with acute traumatic paraplegia of the upper and middle thoracic spine].

AIM: The aim of this study was to analyse the number of thoracic injuries associated with acute traumatic paraplegia of the upper and middle thoracic spine and review the early management in respect to treatment standards. METHODS: Using a prospective study protocol, data were sampled and analyzed from 12 December 2000 to 31 March 2002 at a level 1 trauma center. RESULTS: Twenty-two consecutive patients were included in the study. Sixteen suffered severe chest traumata.

Aggressive management of vascular injuries of the thoracic outlet.

PURPOSE: We present a review of 35 patients who underwent an operation for subclavian (n = 18) or axillary (n = 17) vessel injury. In some patients, both an artery and a vein were damaged, resulting in a total of 30 arterial and 16 venous injuries. METHODS: The wounding source included a gunshot (n = 19), a stab wound (n = 9,) and blunt trauma (n = 7). Seven patients had hypotension and were taken immediately to the operating room. Seventeen patients had diminished or absent pulses, whereas 13 patients had normal pulses despite an arterial injury. Associated injuries included nerve injury (n

Comparison and Evaluation of the Accuracy for Thoracic and Lumbar Pedicle Screw Fixation in Early-Onset Congenital Scoliosis Children.
