VV-ECMOintermediate7 min
Day 8 fevers, cultures pending
Handover
VV day 8. New fevers despite the heater-cooler quirks, white count up, SVR falling, pressor creeping. Gases were stable yesterday. Cultures are pending. ECMO does not treat infection.
Uncorrected hypoxemia, shock, or a dead circuit progresses to pre-arrest, then a code.
