Abstract
Veno-arterial ECMO is a powerful tool for resuscitating patients in refractory cardiogenic shock. However, outcomes are poor unless it is implemented correctly and converted to more long term devices in a stepwise and timely fashion. In this article we detail the steps required to guarantee the highest survival rate for these critically ill patients.
