Monitoring of the Adult Patient on Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) provides mechanical support to the patient with cardiac or cardiopulmonary failure. This paper reviews the physiology of VA ECMO including the determinants of ECMO flow and gas exchange. The efficacy of this therapy may be determined by assessing patient hemodynamics and device flow, overall gas exchange support, markers of adequate oxygen delivery, and pulsatility of the arterial blood pressure waveform.

Clinical use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
With advances in mechanical circulation, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has become an established technique to provide cardiopulmonary support for patients with cardiovascular collapse. This article reviews the physiological principles of such extracorporeal technique and its interaction with the native heart. Practical aspects including equipment, patient selection, and commo...
متن کاملRespiratory Syncytial Virus Associated Myocarditis Requiring Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Severe fulminant myocarditis causing cardiogenic shock can be a rapidly progressing, life threatening condition. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very rare infectious culprit infrequently described in medical literature as a cause of myocarditis, particularly in adults. We present a case of acute fulminant myocarditis in a patient with PCR positive RSV infection requiring venoarterial ext...
متن کاملAn alternative technique to safely close the chest after placing a child on central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Central venoarterial (VA) placement of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is performed surgically, and in the majority of cases, the patient remains with an open sternum. Herein, a case of a 3-year-old patient who underwent insertion of a central VA ECMO for heart failure due to acute myocarditis is described. An alternative technique for ECMO placement providing sternal closure and min...

متن کاملLung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension on intraoperative and postoperatively prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provides optimally controlled reperfusion and excellent outcome
OBJECTIVES Lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension has the highest reported postoperative mortality of all indications. Reasons lie in the complexity of treatment of these patients and the frequent occurrence of postoperative left ventricular failure. Transplantation on intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support instead of cardiopulmonary bypass and e...
