What does it mean when the post-
What is the maximum calculated flow
1 2 membrane PO2 and the patient PO2
for a baby on VA ECMO?
are the same high value?
When should you give platelets
3 when a patient is being placed on 4 Calculate oxygen delivery
ECMO?
Don't know?
Terms in this set (99)
, An ACT of 120 could be Starting CVVH, diuresis
caused by...?
ACT's will typically Decrease (CVVH clears heparin)
(increase/decreased)
during hemofiltration?
As a general rule, sweep The same
gas flow rate is (less/the
same/more) than ECMO
pump flow rate.
The blood path of the Clots
CVVH circuit should be Air
monitored for...?
VO2 = AVDO2 x flow
* Remember to divide by 100 for the mL O
Calculate oxygen
mL blood
consumption
* And divide by patient's weight to get mL
O2/kg/min
*Use the patient ABG
Calculate oxygen content
* CaO2 = (Hgb * Sat * 1.36) + (PaO2 x 0.0031)
for a baby on VA ECMO
* units are in mL O mL blood
DO2 = [ O2 content x (Pump flow cc/min / 100) ]
Calculate oxygen delivery
/ patient's weight in kg
CO2 exchange in the Sweep gas flow rate
membrane is dependent Gas diffusion gradient
on...?
Cryo is given directly to Decrease
the patient, and can cause
ACT to
(increase/decrease)
