Oxygenation During Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Physiology, Current Evidence, and a Pragmatic Approach to Oxygen Titration
Authors' conclusion
Hyperoxia results from a range of ECMO circuit and patient-related factors. It is common during peripheral venoarterial ECMO, and its presence is associated with poor outcome.
