Intraoperative Management of a Hybrid Extracorporeal Membrane
Oxygenation Circuit for Lung Transplantation
Abstract
The use of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) for intraoperative
cardiopulmonary support during lung transplantation has been increasing
in the recent years. Our group previously described a novel hybrid
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit for use in lung
transplantation. Our novel technique for intraoperative management of
this circuit during lung transplantation is described.
