I worked on this concept map on ECMO for a course through the University of Nebraska Medical Center. There are articles, videos, websites linked to different concepts (when underlined or icon on the side of each bubble), and also information on COVID ECMO. Please click around, explore and add me on LinkedIn. Try viewing the concept map as a slide show presentation, which presents the material in sequential order. All recommendations are welcomed. I hope this helps you learn more about ECMO. Thank you - Jared W.

2 Main Types of ECMO

Veno-Veno (VV)

Respiratory Support Only (VV)

[https://intensiveblog.com/cardiac-arrest-vv-ecmo/ Cardiac Arrest]

Recirculation

Weaning VV ECMO Strategy Recommendation 1: -Increase ventilator to appropriate settings -Reduce FiO2 on ECMO blender -Reduce ECMO sweep flow rate Strategy Recommendation 2: -Progressively decrease sweep -Increase ventilation to meet patient needs -Weaning is successful when patient is stable at sweep of 0 for 4-24 hours (or MDs decision) *Sweep of 0 = essentially off ECMO

Dual Lumen Cannulation VV ECMO

Dual Cannulation VV ECMO

VV ECMO Ranges FiO2= 100% Sweep= 1:1 w/ Q SaO2 = >80% tolerable PaO2=55-90mmHg Flow= 2/3 of CO 50-80 ml/kg/min PP= Nl 40mmHg

VV Vent Settings PIP< 30cmH2O PPlat<30cmH2O TV<6 ml/KG IBW RR = 4-6 B/Min PEEP =10-15 cmH2O FiO2 <40%(0.40)

Anticoagulation

Cardiac and/or Respiratory Support (VA)

Complications

[https://intensiveblog.com/cardiac-arrest-on-ecmo-does-it-still-count/ Cardiac Arrest]

1. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGGA-8zXVGE Differential Hypoxia, north-south syndrome, mixing cloud, aka harlequin syndrome (all the same)] 2. [https://intensiveblog.com/differential-hypoxia-reverse/ Pseudo-differential hypoxia and Reverse-differential hypoxia]

Weaning

Weaning VA ECMO Strategy Recommendation 1: -Optimize: Vent settings, vascular fluid balance, cardiac drugs, support devices (IABP/Impella), slowly reduce blood flow to minimum -Consider raising ACT if ECMO blood flow is low (<2 LPM) Strategy Recommendation 2 -ECMO flows are dropped -A successful weaning means no significant deterioration in the hemodynamic variables and improvement in cardiac function should be seen by echocardiography -Values of successful wean: 1) Aortic VTI (>10cm), 2) TDSa mitral annulus (>6cms-1), 3)LVEF (>20-25%) *Do NOT turn off the sweep while weaning

ECMO Management

ECMO Ranges FiO2=100% Sweep= 1:1 w/Q SaO2 = 97-100% PaO2 >200mmHg Flow= 60ml/kg/min PCWP <20 mmHg PP= 10-15 mmHg

Vent Management

VA Vent Settings TV= 6-9 ml/kg IBW RR= 6-12 B/min PEEP=10-15cmH2O FiO2>50% *Little literature exists on optimal vent management for VA ECMO
