Generally speaking, VA mode requires choosing paired vein-artery connections like femoral vein-femoral artery or jugular vein-jugular artery.
However, the patient's current condition is special. As long as we can connect the vein and artery first to push extracorporeal circulation to increase blood oxygen, it is considered good progress!
Finally, Lu Cheng felt the strongest pulse on the left radial artery!
"Disinfect!" Lu Cheng instructed the circulating nurse.
"And my gloves too!~"
For catheter sheath insertion, strict sterile procedure isn't necessary. If the patient's condition is relatively stable, it can even be done in the ward without entering the operating room.
But this patient obviously requires surgical intervention after ECMO monitoring.
And Lu Cheng suspected it was likely a heart attack...
The circulating nurse had previously worked with Director Xu, so she quickly arrived at the operating table to start disinfection.
