2010 May 12 - How to Prime a Maquet ECMO?
Video. The joyful moment when the ECMO is successfully set up for a patient with human swine flu and significant respiratory failure. Deoxygenated blood is drained out and oxygenated by the ECMO, returned as redder oxygenated blood. Oxygen saturation of the patient improves promptly from <85% on 100% O2 to >95% on 35% O2 within 2 minutes. The lungs are then rested with a high PEEP, low tidal volume and low breathing rate. ECMO is usually required for only 5 to 7 days if it is started early, otherwise too much lung damage will have occurred to be salvageable, or secondary bacterial infection will set in to complicate the course.
