From: Cannulation configuration and recirculation in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Effective extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow rate (\({Q}_{eff})\) versus ECMO flow rate (\({Q}_{ec})\) for the atrio-femoral and femoro-atrial cannulation configurations. \({Q}_{eff}\) obtained from the femoro-atrial model with occluded drainage cannula side-holes and reduced inferior vena cava (IVC) inflow are also plotted. Occ.β=βoccluded side-holes. In pink we show a schematic curve of the expected relationship between \({Q}_{eff}\) and \({Q}_{ec}\) (circuit blood flow) proposed by Abrams et al.19.
