Abstrakt: | Case: We report a patient with life-threatening lung contusion who was rescued using poly-2-methoxyethyl acrylate, a biocompatible polymer surface coating for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which enabled reduction of the dose of systemic anticoagulation to prevent circuit thrombosis. Outcome: A 56-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to blunt chest trauma following a 30-m fall into water. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed bilateral lung contusions with bilateral pneumothorax. Although drainage tubes were inserted and ventilation with positive-airway pressure was applied, PaO Conclusion: Our case showed that poly-2-methoxyethyl acrylate-coated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be safely applied to patients with lung contusion associated with chest trauma. |
