    AbstractWe report on a successful configuration strategy of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) in two consecutive cases of acute lung injury. A 60-year-old woman with Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and a 22-year-old man with hemothorax were admitted to our hospital with failing lungs. Although treatment with a ventilator was started, oxygenation could not be maintained. ECMO with a femoro-femoral circuit was performed, which showed a slight improvement in oxygenation. However, not enough oxygen support was provided. To minimize the venous mixture at the right atrium, we added venous drainage from the right jugular vein which resulted in better oxygenation and patient survival.
