Use of VV versus VA extracorporeal membranous oxygenation other than for acute respiratory distress syndrome
| VV ECMO only | VA ECMO only | Initiate VV and transition to VA as needed | Don’t know | Would not use ECMO | |
| Condition for ECMO | |||||
| Hypoxia from pulmonary embolus | 19.2% | 7.9% | 37.9% | 26.6% | 8.5% |
| Right heart failure from pulmonary embolus | 9.7% | 29.1% | 25.1% | 28.0% | 8.0% |
| Right heart failure from traumatic pneumonectomy | 11.0% | 24.9% | 26.6% | 30.6% | 6.9% |
| Hypoxia from pulmonary contusion | 37.6% | 2.3% | 29.5% | 24.3% | 6.4% |
| Supportive ‘bridge’ after cardiac arrest from hypoxia/right heart failure | 6.5% | 22.6% | 22.0% | 33.3% | 15.5% |
ECMO, extracorporeal membranous oxygenation; VA, venoarterial; VV, venovenous.
