PV Loops for Monitoring Cardiac Function in ECMO Patients

Examining cardiac function in patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be complex due to the intricate interactions between the heart and the ECMO circuit. Pressure-volume (PV) loops have emerged as a valuable tool to monitor cardiac function in real time, providing clinicians with dynamic insights into a patient’s heart performance while on ECMO. … Read more
