Case 02 — Still hypoxemic

Handover

VV day 1. Overnight they already pushed FdO₂ to 1.0 and RPM to 3800 — flow 4.2 L — and the patient is still sitting at 84%. Pre-oxygenator SvO₂ reads 88%. Membrane ΔP is modest. Post-membrane gas has not been drawn.

Uncorrected hypoxemia, shock, or a dead circuit progresses to pre-arrest, then a code.

Goals

  • · SpO₂ ≥ 90%
  • · Recirculation resolved
