Modeling the effect of patient size on cerebral perfusion during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Bradley FeigerChristopher W JensenBenjamin S BrynerWilliam P SegarsAmanda RandlesPublished in: Perfusion (2023)
Individual patient anatomy markedly affects mixing zone location and cerebral perfusion in VA ECMO. Future fluid simulations of VA ECMO physiology should incorporate varied patient sizes and geometries in order to best provide insights toward reducing neurologic injury and improved outcomes in this patient population.
