SCCM Resource Library-Prevention of Right Ventricular Failure in VV ECMO Patients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the prevention of right ventricular (RV) failure in patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). The speaker highlights the importance of managing RV failure before and during ECMO support. Tools such as echocardiography and vasoactive infusion scores are mentioned for assessing RV function. Strategies for pre-ECMO RV support include optimizing fluid balance, maintaining systemic perfusion, and using pulmonary vasodilators. The video also explores the possibility of using prophylactic ECMO to protect the kidneys, decrease sedation requirements, and rest the RV. Different cannulation options for ECMO support and limitations of ECMO are discussed. The speaker emphasizes the importance of close monitoring and additional mechanical support strategies for patients at risk of developing RV failure while on ECMO.
