Case Reports[Pulmonary resection and ECMO: A salvage therapy for penetrating lung trauma].
The majority of chest penetrating trauma patients are successfully managed with tube thoracostomy and general supportive measures. Pulmonary resection for hemorrhagic shock is rarely required after trauma to control bleeding. ⋯ The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be started as rescue therapy. We report a case of 24-year-old man with major hemorrhagic shock with cardiac arrest and ARDS after traumatic penetrating lung injury that was successfully treated with pulmonary resection and ECMO.

[Hypnosis and ultrasound-guided paravertebral block in breast cancer surgery].
The combination of hypnosis and paravertebral block (PVB) was studied in three patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery. The three procedures were realized under hypnosis. Median postoperative pain was rated at zero and comfort felt at 8 on a 10 points scale. Hypnosis could be an alternative to conventional anesthesia in combination with a PVB for breast cancer surgery.
