Abstract We aimed to compare recirculation of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) administered with various cannula placements for femoro-femoral (F-F) and femoro-jugular (F-J) configurations in patients with respiratory failure...

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be delivered in veno-arterial (VA) and veno-venous (VV) configurations based on the cannulation strategy. VA and VV ECMO are delivered primarily for haemodynamic and..

Abstract Inadequate venous drainage decreases the efficiency of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Pump augmentation may even make it worse due to collapse of the venous system under negative pressures. Furthermore, recirculation is..

Abstract Recirculation, a phenomenon in which reinfused oxygenated blood is withdrawn by the drainage cannula without passing through the systemic circulation, decreases the efficiency with which venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..

Abstract Recirculation in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) leads to reduction in gas transfer efficiency. Studies of the factors contributing have been performed using in vivo studies and computational..
