Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses how to assess the right ventricle (RV) in patients on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). They emphasize the importance of assessing RV function, which can be complex due to the changing shape of the RV beat to beat. Various methods for assessing RV function, such as echo, TAPSI, S-prime, fractional area change, and PAPI, are explained. The speaker highlights the need for practice and the use of multiple images for accurate assessment. They also mention the importance of considering patient-specific factors when interpreting results.
