VV ECMO
ECMO circuit oxygenation Pump flow relative to patients CO

Patient's oxygenation Recirculation
should increase with ECMO
flow. If this does not occur,
what should be suspected?
VV ECMO is more efficient 1. Removing CO2

Increasing oxygen flow rate Decrease

Are hemodynamics
1. The volume of blood removed is equal to the volume
affected by VV ECMO?

Why or why not?
2. Drainage and return on same side of circulation
Is there an effect on CVP, No
Volume, or RV filling
pressures on VV ECMO?
, On VV ECMO Systemic True.
blood flow is the native
cardiac output and is
unrelated to the ECMO
flow. True or False?
1. Decrease mechanical vent support=more efficient gas

acidosis, and reversal of anaerobic metabolism.
Compared to VA ECMO 1. Serious arterial injury

What factors improve 1. Low pressure circuit=Less stress on tubing and
