Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS)
General heading of mechanical
Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)
when the heart/lung machine is used in the operating room to provide total support of the heart and lung function, the technique is called cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
ECLS Acronyms
ECMO ECLA ECCOR CPS ECPR LVAD/RVAD/BiVAD
ECLA
Extracorporeal Lung assist
ECCOR
Extracorporeal CO2 removal
CPS
Cardiopulmonary Support (Extra-thoracic cannulation) i.e. cath lab
ECPR
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Extracorporeal
a process in which blood is taken from a patient’s circulation before it is returned to the circulation
Extracorporeal Circuit
All of the apparatus carrying the blood outside the body
Oxygenator
Serves as an artificial lung, designed to expose the blood to oxygen and remove CO2. It is permeable to gas but impermeable to blood
Cardiac pump
serves as an artificial heart, rotating motor-driven pumps that propel blood forward through tubing. Pumps are considered roller or centrifugal depending on the design
Heat Exchanger
integral equipment build for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. Blood and water is separate by a solid wall prohibiting mixing
Oxygenators
Silicone oxygenators
Hollow fiber design
Pumps
Roller
Centrifugal
Heat Exchangers
Integrated (Maquet)
Tubular (ECMOtherm)
What do we have in our ECMO circuit?
An artificial lung (oxygenator)
A pump (aritifical heart)
A heat exchanger
Tubing, bells, whistles, etc.
In what year was artificial oxygenation and perfusion support used for the first successful open heart operation utilizing a heart lung machine?
May 1953
Who used artificial oxygenation and perfusion support for the first successful open heart operation utilizing a heart lung machine?
John Gibbon
Artificial oxygenation and perfusion support was used for the first successful open heart operation utilizing a heart lung machine. This membrane utilized….
direct blood/gas interaction (bubble oxygenator)
