Electrical Cardiometry in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is important in 
patient connected to extracorporeal membrane 
oxygenation (ECMO) either Veno-Venous (VV) 
ECMO or veno- arterial (VA) ECMO - In VV 
ECMO patient's adequate oxygenation is 
achieved with ECMO flow above 60 % of 
cardiac output and in VA ECMO patients 
adequate hemodynamic is maintained with 
ECMO flow 50-70 ml / kg/min.
