Article Synopsis
- The use of simulators for training in cardiac surgery is gaining traction, but their effectiveness depends on validating the data they produce against established clinical norms.
- A study focused on the Orpheus™ CPB simulator compared its hemodynamic and technical outputs to published clinical metrics, confirming that the simulator's data aligns with valid clinical parameters for patients weighing between 50 and 110 kg.
- The findings outline acceptable ranges for various key variables during CPB procedures, which can enhance the development of realistic training scenarios for high-stakes assessments in medical settings.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often managed using minimal anticoagulation. This can make the circuitry susceptible to thrombosis. The ECMO cannula may be particularly vulnerable to thrombosis if flow is interrupted for an undetermined but prolonged period of time.
