Echocardiography-Guided Dual-Lumen Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannula Placement in the ICU-A Retrospective Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The most effective method of image guidance for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is not known. The authors' objectives were to define the frequency of successful initial cannulation using echocardiographic guidance in the intensive care unit, as well as to determine the frequency of subsequent adjustments. Additional aims were to illustrate cannula malposition problems and to describe features associated with difficult cannulation.

Design

Retrospective consecutive case series analysis.

Setting

Single tertiary care university hospital.

Participants

Forty-five patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

The most common causes of respiratory failure we
