Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) supports oxygenation and carbon dioxide clearance in venous blood returning to the right heart. ECLS can also be configured to provide mechanical support of the failing circulation; veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) ...
At the core, venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) aims to restore blood flow and perfusion to the body in the setting of a heart that can no longer provide the requisite cardiac output to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues. This may be for a host of diverse ...
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) supports gas exchange in venous blood returning to the right heart. ECLS can also be configured to provide mechanical support of the failing circulation; veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) augments systemic blood flow ...
