Estimating cardiac output based on gas exchange during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a simulation study using paediatric oxygenators
Abstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy is a rescue strategy for severe cardiopulmonary failure. The estimation of cardiac output during VA-ECMO is challenging. A lung circuit ( $${\dot{\text{Q}}}$$ Q ˙ Lung) and an ECMO circuit ( $${\dot{\text{Q}}}$$ Q ˙ ECMO) w...
