Utilization of Critical Care U/S Imaging Tools for Assessment of Cardio-Pulmonary Complications in Extracorporeal Circulatory Support in Patients Post Cardiac Surgery and ECMO
CCUS is a valuable bedside tool in post-cardiac surgery and ECMO patients. Echocardiographic parameters (EF, LVESD, and VTI variability) and diaphragmatic function indices are strong predictors of weaning success, while LUS facilitates early pulmonary complication detection. Incorporating CCUS into routine monitoring may enhance patient outcomes and optimize weaning strategies.
