Hemodynamic and recirculation performance of dual lumen cannulas for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be performed with two single lumen cannulas (SLCs) or one dual-lumen cannula (DLC) where low recirculation fraction ( $${R}_{f}$$ R f ) is a key performance criterion.
