2018年9月18日 · Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO)—also referred to as extracorporeal life support—is a form of temporary mechanical circulatory support and simultaneous extracorporeal gas exchange.

There are two types of ECMO. Venoarterial (VA) ECMO can be used for heart and lung support, while venovenous (VV) ECMO is used for lung support only. The ECMO team will decide which type will help your loved one the most, based on his or her specific illness.

2024年10月6日 · 1979 – VA ECMO (ECMO with ventilation) vs ventilation alone -> high mortality in ECMO group; 1986 — Gattinoni’s case series, VV, used for CO2 removal, increased survival but large blood loss/day; TYPES. VV = veno-venous; VA = veno-arterial: peripheral or central

2019年12月9日 · VA-ECMO has transformed the clinical care of patients with severe cardiogenic shock, and cardiovascular specialists need to have a basic understanding of this treatment option.

2025年1月15日 · VA ECMO increases LV afterload (which may impair LV function) and reduces RV preload. Weaning VA ECMO involves reducing ECMO support to determine how the heart will respond to increased RV preload and reduced LV afterload.

Veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) ECMO requires the drainage of deoxygenated blood from the venous system, moving it across a membrane oxygenator that removes carbon dioxide (CO 2), replenishes oxygen, and returns oxygenated blood back to the patient’s venous or arterial system depending on the use of VV or VA, respectively.

2015年7月14日 · Prompt identification and resuscitation of patients has a marked impact on improving outcomes. 2,3 Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is an established strategy for cardiopulmonary support with increasing use in patients with cardiovascular collapse.

2024年5月5日 · Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: VA ECMO is a critical intervention in treating severe cardiac conditions, often coexisting with respiratory failure. The primary role is in extracorporeal blood oxygenation, typically drawn from major veins, such as the femoral or jugular vein, and reinfused into an artery, such as the femoral ...

VA-ECMO Is a Bridge. The fundamental premise underlying extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is that it is a bridge—to recovery, to a more durable bridge, to definitive treatment, or to decision. This figure shows indications for ECMO and the potential outcomes. RV = right ventricular; VA = venoarterial.

2020年3月3日 · VENOARTERIAL extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a form of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) intended to temporarily replace cardiopulmonary function in patients experiencing refractory cardiogenic shock.
