Femoro-femoral ECMO configuration shows lower recirculation compared to femoro-jugular and jugulo-femoral setups.
Time-averaged flow data indicates that FF configuration has pronounced negative pressures in the inferior vena cava.
Large eddy simulations performed at flow rates of 2–6 L/min assess flow parameters critical for clinical efficiency.
Understanding shear stress dynamics in drainage cannulas highlights the risks of blood trauma at increased flow rates.
