title: [Prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the treatment of burns-induced shock lung (authors transl)].
abstract: A case of third-degree burns involving 35 per cent of the body surface is reported with occurred in a 28-year-old man. On the 6th day progressive pulmonary insufficiency developed which 3 days later necessitated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Oxygen diffusion capacity gradually improved and the patients resumed spontaneous respiration with oxygen enriched air. He died 5 days after membrane oxygenation was discontinued due to massive haemorrhages from an infection at the site of the femoral by-pass. The technique adopted for the perfusion, which lasted 83 hours, is described.
