title: [Use of ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) in a traumatic brain injured patient with severe hypoxemia].
abstract: Traumatic brain injuries are fairly sensitive to hypoxia. For patient with associated lung and brain traumas, different means used to improve oxygen blood level are poorly described. We report the use of ECMO in a refractory hypoxemia occurred to a multitrauma young patient with neurological lesions.
