Figure 1: Schematic diagram illustrating double cannulation Veno-venous (VV) ECMO14. a . Draining from the SVC/RA then passed through an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (OX ) before being infused into femoral vein. b . Blood is removed from the IVC then passed through an oxygenator before being infused to the right atrium.
Figure 2: Schematic figure showing central and peripheral Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO)15.A . Peripheral VA-ECMO with blood extracted via the femoral vein and infused through the femoral artery (i.e. femoro-femoral configuration). B . Central VA-ECMO with blood extracted from right atrium and infused via ascending aorta.
