  1. Vascular Access & Cannulation Dr Osama Bawazir Assistant Professor , Consultant Pediatric surgeon FRCSI, FRCS(Ed), FRCS (glas), FRCSC, FAAP,FACS.

  2. ECMO is a supportive measure, which can be instituted as an urgent, semi elective or elective procedure • Time in relation to the event is the limiting factor when going through the assessment cascade in order to accomplish a successful result

  3. Introduction • PRE-ECMO ASSESSMENT • CANNULATION • INITIATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ECMO • EVALUATION

  4. CANNULATION The establishment and maintenance of adequate vascular access is essential for ECMO

  5. CANNULATION • Patient age and size • Underlying disease & condition • Cause of the cardiorespiratory compromise • Type of support: • Veno-venous (VV) ECMO • Veno-arterial (VA) ECMO • Time of the event in relation to the peri-operative period • Location

  6. CANNULATION • For each modality, there are different kinds and sizes of cannulae that can be used • Target activated clotting time (ACT) should be accomplished first before ECMO (heparin 100 units/kg) 3 minutes before cannulation. • Consent • GA

  7. Guidelines for Cannula size

  8. Poiseuille’s Law • Poiseuille's law: In an artificial system, flow through a cylindrical tube or any segment of a tube is directly proportional to ΔP, the driving pressure along the tube, and the fourth power of the radius, r. Flow is inversely proportional to L the length of the segment and to η, the viscosity of the liquid. The proportionality constant is π/8.

  9. Cannula Consideration • Venous cannula should be with the largest lumen and shortest length possible (gravity). • Venous cannula should have side holes. • M-number • Resist kinking • The smallest double lumen cannula is size 12 F ( for V V ecmo in neonate)

  10. CANNULATION • Veno-Venous (V-V) ECMO • Mainly used for respiratory support (ARDS & Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) • V-V ECMO provides adequate oxygenation and CO2 removal • The venous access can be established by using the system in one site, or two different sites

  11. CANNULATION • Veno-Arterial (VA) ECMO provides cardiac as well as respiratory support and is mainly used for post op cardiac case

  12. (V-V) ECMOAdvantage offer(V-A) ECMO • Eliminate the potential for arterial embolization and ischemia • Arterial ligation or repair is unnecessary • Improve the blood flow and oxygenation to pulmonary circulation. • No hemodynamic effects

  13. CANNULATION TECHNIQUE • Open • Semi-open • Percutaneous

  14. CANNULATION Internal jugular vein

  15. CANNULATION Subclavian vein & Right atrium

  16. CANNULATION Femoral vein

  17. CANNULATION One site • A double lumen cannula is inserted into the internal jugular vein • Only one site for venous access

  18. CANNULATION Two different sites

  19. CANNULATION • Veno-Arterial (VA) ECMO provides cardiac as well as respiratory support and is mainly used for post op cardiac case

  20. CANNULATION Internal jugular vein and the common carotid artery

  21. CANNULATION Right atrium and ascending aorta

  22. CANNULATION Femoral vein and artery

  23. CANNULATION A Left atrial pressure line can be utilized to monitor the LA pressure

  24. CANNULATION In situations where ECMO support is anticipated • Chest will be left open and covered by a Silastic patch • Purse-string sutures will be left snared in place • Standby preprimed pump will be kept in ICU

  25. CANNULATION PROBLEMS • Threading the venous catheter • Vein division • Proximal vein lost in mediastinum • Lack of venous return • Intrathoracic vein perforation

  26. Complication • Vascular injury( tear, intimal dissection, perforation). • Obstruction (kinking, positional). • Misplacement( AI, afterload LV failure). • Bleeding. • Recirculation.
