Reliability of Point-Of-Care Hematocrit, Blood Gas, Electrolyte, Lactate and Glucose Measurement During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

We concluded that dynamic or hybrid ECMO configurations were used in various underlying diseases, in which V-AV was most commonly used. Patients receiving VV ECMO for respiratory support initially, who then converted to other configurations for both respiratory and circulatory support, had significantly worst outcomes among the groups studied. The initial configuration should be selected carefully after thorough assessment of patient condition.
