Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Apnoeic Oxygenation for Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Repair in a Previously Pneumonectomised Patient
Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for elective thoracic surgical procedures has been infrequently reported in the anaesthetic literature. We report the use of intraoperative veno-venous ECMO support for a patient with a previous left pneumonectomy who required a right-sided thoracotomy for repair of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula. To avoid traumatising or pressurising the fistula, a spontaneous ventilation technique was used...
