Abstract
A 47-year-old male patient, who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate for a Gustilo-Anderson type II open proximal tibiofibular fracture of the right lower leg, experienced rhabdomyolysis. Rapid progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute renal failure occurred due to rhabdomyolysis. After veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, he exhibited a relatively smooth clinical recovery. Our case report suggests that circulating cytotoxic substances from rhabdomyolysis resulted in concomitant acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute renal failure. This case was successfully treated after applying extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
期刊介绍:
Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
