VA-ECMOintermediate6 min
Hypertensive, tight LV on support
Handover
VA. MAP 105 on residual pressors, pulse pressure tight, lungs wetter, CVP high. Flow is already 4.8 L. The team has been “running high for safety” since last night. The aortic valve is barely opening.
Uncorrected hypoxemia, shock, or a dead circuit progresses to pre-arrest, then a code.
