Fig 2 Schematic image of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO circuit. (LMT = left main trunk coronary artery; lt. = left.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2017 104, 1488-1495DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2017.04.045) Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 Sample waveforms at each driving mode. (AoP = aortic pressure; CoF = coronary arterial flow; ECG = electrocardiogram; IABP = intraaortic balloon pump; LVP = left ventricular pressure; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure; RF = renal arterial blood flow; RS = rotational speed.)
