Pre-assembled ECMO: Enhancing efficiency and reducing stress in refractory cardiac arrest care
Aseptically pre-assembled and pre-primed ECMO circuits maintain sterility for multiple weeks, significantly reducing ECMO initiation times and alleviating psychological strain on the ECPR team. Consequently, implementing these circuits in ECPR centers could enhance both patient outcomes and healthcare provider well-being.
