➡️ What is ECMO?
ECMO is a type of extracorporeal life support where an external machine can be used as a replacement for a patient's heart and lungs. Respiratory Therapists are often involved in this type of therapy which means that this is an important topic to learn about. During ECMO, the patient's blood is pumped out of the body and through a membrane for the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This type of therapy is indicated whenever a patient's heart and lungs are unable to perform this process on their own.
➡️ Types of ECMO:
1. Venoarterial (VA)
2. Venovenous (VV)
➡️ What is Venoarterial ECMO?
Venoarterial ECMO is a type of support where venous blood is drained from the patient and ran through a machine for oxygenation. The blood becomes saturated with oxygen and can be returned to the patient’s body via arterial circulation. This type of ECMO is typically used in patients with cardiovascular failure and it should be noted that this type of therapy does provide hemodynamic support. It’s most commonly indicated for the treatment of cardiogenic shock.
➡️ ECMO Therapy
Again, ECMO is a very serious therapeutic measure that is typically used for the management of severe, life-threatening respiratory failure or cardiogenic shock in patients who have not responded positively to conventional forms of therapy. Respiratory Therapists are often involved with this type of treatment although state licensure laws may limit their involvement in some states.
