arteries, deflates when heart in systole
Explain Swan Catheters
catheter that goes into the RA to RV to PA, measures the pressures in
and around the heart
CVVH
removes blood at a continuous rate at lower volumes, better for
unstable BP
ECMO

VA- supports heart and lungs, returned arterial
ECMO- oxygenates blood in a circuit
