Full text not available from this repository.Posttraumatic adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) still involves significant mortality, despite progress in management concepts. Current therapeutic strategies are briefly described, including kinetic therapy, high-frequency jet ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. In addition, a spectacular case of the first successful lung transplantation for posttraumatic ARDS after failed ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) support is reported. This young man with severe posttraumatic ARDS developed a potentially lethal bilateral pulmonary hemorrhage under treatment with ECMO, and on the basis of this bilateral pulmonary transplantation was considered to be indicated. The patient is alive and well 2 years after the procedure.
