LID - 10.1093/icvts/ivad206 [doi] LID - ivad206 AB - A 60-year-old man intubated for airway protection after smoke inhalation was found to have decompensated hypercapnic respiratory failure. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed obstructive airway slough and pseudomembrane, a manifestation of severe inhalation injury. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was established for stabilization. The airway casts were removed successfully with periprocedural veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2023.
