Great talk at #SWAAC #ELSO by Indira Jayakumar on when to change an #ECMO circuit. This slide could also represent most stuff related to #PICU #PedsICU ECMO

Use VIS as trigger to initiate ECMO discussions in #PedsICU and change mindset post-cardiac surgery

An honour to speak at #SWAAC #ELSO #AbuDhabi on when to put an infant on #ECMO.
Neuro injury concerns delay ECMO initiation and then deterioration leads to loss of cerebral autoregulation.
Use ECMO to support the patient and not as a rescue therapy when 👶 post-arrest or in multi-organ-failure.

Hi Blue Sky!
My first and most important post:
If you intubate a patient in cardiac arrest you should see a CO2 Trace.

No Trace= Wrong Place

I write as latest edition of APLS (which I fully support) is wrong.
