Monitor Landing

The solution to monitor the complex interaction between the membrane lung and the native lung

In ECMO procedures, the supply of O? to the patient and the elimination of CO? depend on a complex interaction between the membrane lung (ML), the native lung (NL), and the patient’s metabolic-hemodynamic pattern. . Continuous monitoring of these parameters is crucial for patient management.

Monitoring the membrane lung is essential to understand gas exchange performance; while both the gas exchange function of the native lung and its mechanical properties must be assessed to understand the possibility and timing of weaning from intravenous ECMO.

Monitoring patients’ hemodynamic and metabolic parameters (cardiac output, VO2+, VO2+) is essential to achieve a balance between metabolic needs and artificial organ function. The relationship between cardiac output (CO) and extracorporeal blood flow (EBF) is crucial for understanding membrane lung recirculation and the challenges of achieving satisfactory blood flow.
