Impact of Drainage Cannula Size and Blood Flow Rate on the Outcome of Patients Receiving Venovenous ECMO for ARDS: An ELSO Registry Analysis
Read More
Abstract Adequate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in the adult requires cannulae permitting blood flows up to 6-8 L/minute. In accordance with Poiseuille's law, flow is proportional to the fourth power..
