Article Synopsis
- Clotting is a significant issue during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), leading to a high percentage of patients needing oxygenator replacement due to clots forming.
- This study aimed to validate ultrasound dilution technology for measuring oxygenator blood volume (OXBV) as a way to assess clotting quantitatively.
- Results showed that the ultrasound method accurately measures OXBV and is reproducible, suggesting it could inform better prediction of clotting and reduce unnecessary procedure changes, though more research is needed.
