Simple and reliable method for predicting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flow rates and circuit pressures
Our newly developed method reliably predicts the ECMO flow rate and circuit pressure. Hence, it can be considered a valuable tool for preemptively selecting the optimal cannula size for ECMO, thus improving patient safety and circuit management. Furthermore, it may be a valuable educational tool, making complex hemodynamic concepts more intuitive for trainees.
