Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) remains the last option for cardiorespiratory stabilization of severe traumatic injured patients. Currently limited data are available and therefore, the current study assessed the survival rate and outcome of ECLS in a Level I trauma center. Between 2002 and 2016, 18 patients (7 females, 11 males) with an median age of 29.5 IQR 23.5 (range 1–64) years were treated with ECLS due to acute traumatic cardiorespiratory failure. Trauma mechanism, survival rate, ISS, SOFA, GCS, GOS, CPC, time to ECLS, hospital- and ICU stay, surgical interventions, complications and infections were retrospectively assessed. Veno-arterial ECLS was applied in 15 cases (83.3%) and veno-venous ECLS in 3 cases (16.6%). Survivors were significant younger than non-survivors (p = 0.0289) and had a lower ISS (23.5 (IQR 22.75) vs 38.5 (IQR 16.5), p = n.s.). The median time to ECLS cannulation was 2 (IQR 0,25) hours in survivors 2 (IQR 4) in non-survivors. Average GCS was 3 (IQR 9.25) at admission. Six patients (33.3%) survived and had a satisfying neurological outcome with a mean GOS of 5 (IQR 0.25) (p = n.s.). ECLS is a valuable treatment in severe injured patients with traumatic cardiorespiratory failure and improves survival with good neurological outcome. Younger patients and patients with a lower ISS are associated with a higher survival rate. Consideration of earlier cannulation in traumatic cardiorespiratory failure might be beneficial to improve survival.
