| Core Tip |
Veno-venous Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is occasionally used in airway obstruction, but the literature remains limited. Difficult airway management can be fatal without advanced support strategies. Complex and deformed airways can challenge even the most experienced anesthesiologist. Current approaches and techniques for such patients may be inadequate. VV ECMO can be a bridge to definitive airway establishment and surgical intervention. VV ECMO can be safely and effectively instigated during the perioperative period and can avoid mishaps in difficult and failed intubation scenarios. Multidisciplinary team engagement and meticulous planning are key to the successful management of cases with difficult airways. |
