Harlequin Syndrome (also known as North-South Syndrome) is a complication of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) that can occur when left ventricular function starts to recover. While most commonly due to continued impaired gas exchange in the lungs, we present a case caused by right ventricular dysfunction, successfully managed by conversion of the ECMO circuit to a veno-veno-arterial (VV-A) configuration.

In critically ill patients, deserving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), choosing the right pattern of cannulation such as veno-venous (VV), veno-arterial (VA), veno-veno-arterial (VVA), and central; selecting the appropriate size cannulae; and good cannulation techniques are all pre-requisites for the successful outcome of ECMO. We are describing the selection criteria for choosing appropriate size cannulae, cannulation configurations, available cannulae, and possible complications. A brief note on anticoagulation was added.

Introduction: Dual-lumen cannulas were designed to provide venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) with single-vessel access. Anatomic and size considerations may make appropriate placement challenging in children. Dual-lumen cannulas are repositioned in 20-69% of pediatric patients, which can be difficult without transient discontinuation of ECMO support.
