The oxygen delivery to a specific vascular area is primarily determined by the oxygen content in the source of perfusion. Caution is advised with upper body VA ECMO for patients with hypoxic respiratory failure and right ventricle dysfunction, due to potential coronary ischemia. Management of these patients is challenging due to disease progression and organ availability uncertainties.
