ABI is a quantitative metric that may be used to monitor limb perfusion and supplement clinical exams to identify limb ischemia in femorally cannulated VA-ECMO patients. More studies are needed to characterize the significance of ABI in femoral VA-ECMO and its value in identifying limb ischemia in this patient population.
