Abstract：Objective To discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of extracorporeal circulation ( ECC) assisted replantation of amputated limbs. Methods One case suffered from severe amputation of the right upper limb. After debridement,axillary artery and vein were cannulated and perfusion with anticoagulated autologous blood was performed for 126 min. O2 , CO2 , Hb, lactate, potassium, pH, loss of blood,BP,SpO2, and ECG were monitored. Results The operation/ ECC time was 126 min.The amount of autologous blood salvage from the wound was 1900 ml. During surgery, the blood pressure was stable. After 63-hour stay in ICU, the limb func?tion was restored. Conclusion The feasibility of ECC technique in replantation of amputated limbs was demonstrated.
