    Snippet: Tracheobronchial injury is a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition, and in most cases requires urgent treatment to restore normal respiratory physiology. Over the past decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved as an important adjunct in airway surgery. We presented three cases of traumatic tracheobronchial injury managed with ECMO support at a level-1 trauma center and emphasized the benefits of anticipation and early institution of ECMO support perioperatively,
    Document: Tracheobronchial injury is a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition, and in most cases requires urgent treatment to restore normal respiratory physiology. Over the past decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved as an important adjunct in airway surgery. We presented three cases of traumatic tracheobronchial injury managed with ECMO support at a level-1 trauma center and emphasized the benefits of anticipation and early institution of ECMO support perioperatively, in these high-risk cases. The management of traumatic tracheobronchial injuries requires early measures to guarantee adequate ventilation. Anticipation and early institution of ECMO in these patients may support respiratory physiology, facilitate repair and improve survival. The time factor and multidisciplinary communication and plan prior to intervention should be considered. ECMO support, whenever available, plays important role in the management of complicated tracheobronchial surgical procedure and thereby reduces risk of mortality.
