    Study Notes

    ECMO Circuit Components

    • The main components of an ECMO circuit include the oxygenator, pump, and cannulae.

    Types of ECMO

    • Veno-Venous ECMO (VV ECMO) functions to support the lungs, providing oxygenation and removing carbon dioxide.
    • Veno-Arterial ECMO (VA ECMO) primarily supports the heart, providing cardiac output and blood pressure.

    Additional Components

    • Besides the main circuit components, other components required for ECMO include a heat exchanger, a bridge, and a sweep gas source.

    Cannulation

    • There are two types of cannulation for ECMO: Veno-Venous (VV) and Veno-Arterial (VA).

    Primary Function of ECMO

    • The primary function of ECMO is to provide both cardiac and respiratory support to patients in cardiac or respiratory failure.

    ECMO in Various Situations

    • ECMO helps in cases of respiratory infection, heart attack, or trauma by providing temporary support to the lungs and/or heart, allowing them to rest and recover.

    ECMO Process

    • The ECMO process involves continuously pumping blood out of the body, oxygenating it, and then returning it to the body, bypassing the lungs and/or heart.

    ECMO in Specific Situations

    • In a person with malfunctioning lungs and heart, ECMO plays a specific role in providing both cardiac and respiratory support, allowing the organs to rest and recover.

    Purpose of Blood Pumping

    • The purpose of continuously pumping blood out of the body in ECMO is to remove carbon dioxide and add oxygen, thereby maintaining the body's oxygenation and acid-base balance.
