Impact of Cannulation Strategy and Extracorporeal Blood Flow on Recirculation During Veno‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Recirculation is a common complication in V-V ECMO and can lead to a reduction of ECMO effectiveness. Particular attention should be paid to optimal positioning of the cannulas in patients with more than one cannula. The ultrasonic indicator dilution method is a simple and quick method for measuring recirculation in V-V ECMO and can be used at an early stage if effectiveness decreases.
