Patient Dyspnea Under Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Circulation

If a sweep gas flow through the membrane lung increment has been decided upon to relieve dyspnea, a new recording will be made after each scan increment and the patient will be asked at each step.

In ventilated or non-ventilated patients in whom the decision to implement non-invasive ventilation has been made, an increase in PEEP in 2 cmH2O steps without exceeding a plateau pressure of 25 cmH2O and a VT of 10ml/kg of the patient's theoretical weight will be achieved.
