About The Book

ECMO in the Adult Patient (Core Critical Care Series) provides a highly practical, evidence-based guide to managing adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the intensive care unit. Designed for quick bedside reference, this manual translates complex hemodynamic and respiratory physiology into clear guidelines for patient selection, cannulation techniques, circuit monitoring, and weaning protocols in severe cardiac and respiratory failure.

Core Features & Applied Highlights

â–  Comprehensive VV & VA ECMO Coverage Delivers clear decision-making frameworks for selecting venovenous (VV) ECMO for severe ARDS and venoarterial (VA) ECMO for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest.
â–  Cannulation & Hemodynamic Management Provides detailed visual and procedural instruction on vascular access site selection, cannula sizing, distal perfusion catheters, and mechanical circulatory support optimization.
â–  Anticoagulation & Hematologic Protocols Outlines practical strategies for managing heparinization, monitoring target parameters, mitigating bleeding risks, and preventing circuit thrombosis.
â–  Rapid Emergency Troubleshooting Algorithms Features step-by-step algorithms for handling critical emergencies such as pump failure, air embolism, oxygenator failure, arterial chatter, and acute recirculation.
