Case 06 — Console emergency

Handover

VA-ECMO. The air-detect alarm just fired and flow collapsed. MAP is falling through the 50s. You can see foam in the tubing.

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

Goals

  • · Air cleared
  • · Flow restored ≥ 3 L
  • · MAP ≥ 65
