Anesthetic Management of Perioperative Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for Thoracoscopic Bullectomy in a Single-Lung Patient

Authors: Marques C, Graça I, Oliveira Â, et al. Cureus 18(8): e115165. doi:10.7759/cureus.115165 Abstract Thoracic surgery in patients with severely limited pulmonary reserve may be unsafe or infeasible with conventional one-lung ventilation. In patients with previous pneumonectomy, surgical exclusion of the only functioning lung abolishes native ventilation, making conventional lung isolation impossible. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane […]
