Abstract:
In recent years, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has emerged as a critical intervention in the management of adult respiratory failure, with its clinical application expanding at a rapid pace annually. For critically ill patients receiving VV-ECMO support, achieving and maintaining a balance between oxygen supply and oxygen consumption is of paramount importance. Oxygen supply primarily relies on cardiac output and arterial oxygen content; notably, in patients under VV-ECMO support, arterial oxygen content is closely linked to the parameter configurations of both VV-ECMO and mechanical ventilators. Therefore, based on national and industrial needs, this document has been formulated by integrating the latest advancements and practical experience in this field from both domestic and international sources. Its core objectives are to standardize the adjustment of oxygen supply during the combined use of mechanical ventilators and VVECMO, provide unambiguous guidance for healthcare professionals, and ultimately enhance the success rate in the treatment of severe respiratory conditions.
