Video Transcription

Video Summary

The patient is experiencing cardiogenic shock with a severely dilated heart and poor function. Oxygen requirements are increasing, and the transthoracic echo reveals a reduced ejection fraction with wall motion abnormalities. The team has initiated vasopressors and plans to consult the cardiothoracic team for ECMO cannulation. The video will address the complexity of the ECMO machine and discuss the most suitable ECMO configuration for the patient - VV, VA, VAV, or VAA. The team is considering adjunct treatments and seeking solutions for the patient's worsening condition.
