To get readings from ECMO circuits one must never interrupt the blood flow just like in circuits you measure properties when current is flowing. https://t.co/WI2it2uwrF

Coming back to the thrombosis formation the tubings can be coated with bio compatible substances and more importantly help reduce bleedings. Even coating tubing doesnot eliminate risks completely. https://t.co/WI2it2uwrF

The shorter the tubings the easily the venous drainage. Once again coming to the point the ECMO circuit must capture blood and not leave blood to pile up https://t.co/WI2it2uwrF
