Key Points

Assess the application of prolonged extracorporeal oxygenation in managing severe post-traumatic acute respiratory failure following thoracic injury.
Clinical management and intervention report of a 24-year-old male with blunt trauma causing subadventitial aortic transection and orthopedic injuries (N=1).
Surgical repair of the thoracic aorta followed by prolonged extracorporeal oxygenation to address refractory acute respiratory failure.
Extracorporeal oxygenation maintained systemic oxygenation following aortic reconstruction.
Ventilatory support successfully sustained gas exchange during severe post-traumatic pulmonary dysfunction.

Implication

Case report demonstrates prolonged extracorporeal oxygenation support in post-traumatic acute respiratory failure, suggesting its utility in severe shock-lung syndrome.
