Surgical treatment of delayed partial bronchial rupture under venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChest trauma may precipitate a spectrum of injuries, among which tracheal laceration represents an uncommon but critical sequela. The occurrence of tracheal laceration could significantly impair respiratory and cardiovascular homeostasis, thereby posing a life-threatening risk to the patient. Expeditious surgical intervention is paramount for therapeutic management, and in certain instances, the administration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) may be necessitated to support the patient's respiratory function. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report discusses the surgical management of a delayed partial bronchial rupture following thoracic trauma, supported by VV ECMO. The patient, who sustained multiple rib fractures, hemopneumothorax, and scapular fractures due to a motor vehicle accident, developed progressive dyspnea one month post-trauma. Imaging revealed right lung atelectasis and pleural effusion, necessitating emergency surgery. VV ECMO was used to stabilize oxygenation, allowing for successful right main bronchus resection and anastomosis. Intraoperative bronchoscopy played a crucial role in identifying the rupture site and ensuring effective anastomosis. The patient recovered well, with no significant complications at follow-up.
conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention in bronchial rupture, the utility of VV ECMO for respiratory support, and the role of bronchoscopy in managing airway injuries. It underscores that delayed bronchial rupture, though rare, requires prompt recognition and treatment to prevent life-threatening complications.
