May allow planned ECMO exchanges via monitoring; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation in VV-ECMO.
Can regular monitoring of ECMO parameters and laboratory values predict system-exchanges in patients on VV-ECMO?
Regular monitoring of ECMO circuit parameters and specific laboratory values can predict the need for system exchanges and reduce unexpected failures.
