Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology
The chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the body
What is the Left Ventricle?
This acts as the 'heart' in the CPB circuit
What is the pump?
This is the chamber of the heart the CENTRAL venous cannula would enter
What is the right atrium?
A patient in cardiac Arrest would require this type of ECMO support?
What is VA or veno-arterial ECMO?
This device is used in the operating room to salvage the blood from the field and concentrate the red blood cells
What is the Cell Saver? (or Autlog)
This valves separates the right atrium from the right ventricle
What is the Tricuspid Valve?
The device in the circuit that add oxygen and removed carbon dioxide
What is the Oxygenator?
This cannula is a dual lumen cannula used to drain blood through one lumen and reinfused oxygenated blood through the other lumen?
What is a crescent cannula?
What is VV or veno-venous ECMO?
This medication is given to prevent the blood from clotting
What is Heparin?
This vessel is under the highest pressure and send blood to the body
What is the Aorta?
This device holds the extra blood, filters out air and particulate, and contains a defoamer
This cannula is used to deliver cardioplegia to the heart in the normal flow direction
What is antegrade cardioplegia?
A crescent or dual lumen cannula would be placed in this vessel during ECMO Cannulation
What is the RIJ or Right internal Jugular vein?
This is the molecule that binds with heparin to form a the conformational change to activate the anticoagulation
What is AT3?
This is the only deoxygenated artery in the body?
What is the Pulmonary Artery?
This device is impacted by preload and afterload
What is a centrifugal pump? or AP40
This cannula must fit snuggly in the ostia to prevent backflow
What is Coronary artery ostial cannula?
This competitor holds >60% of the market share for ECMO?
Who is Maquet (Gettinge)?
This medication reverses the effects of Heparin
What is Protamine?
The vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the heart
What are the Coronary Arteries?
What is Cardioplegia?
This is required to assess placement of guide wires and cannulae
What is ECHO or TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiogram)?
This occurs during VV ECMO when the oxygenated blood that is infused is sucked back up by the venous cannula
What is recirculation?
This tells you how responsive a patient is to heparin
What is Heparin Dose Response (HDR)?
