Which parameter best reflects the adequacy of oxygen delivery in ECMO?
Correct!
Wrong!
Monitoring oxygen saturation helps assess the effectiveness of oxygen delivery.
Why is continuous monitoring of lactate levels important in ECMO patients?
Correct!
Wrong!
Lactate levels indicate tissue perfusion and metabolic stress.
What does a sudden drop in mean arterial pressure (MAP) indicate?
Correct!
Wrong!
MAP is crucial for evaluating systemic perfusion during ECMO support.
Why is neurological assessment important in ECMO patients?
Correct!
Wrong!
Neurological changes can signal complications like stroke or hypoxia.
Which laboratory value indicates kidney function during ECMO?
Correct!
Wrong!
Monitoring creatinine helps detect acute kidney injury in ECMO patients.
Which tool is commonly used to assess pain in ECMO patients?
Correct!
Wrong!
Pain scales like FLACC are used for non-verbal patients.
Loading Questions...
What is a critical sign of poor perfusion in an ECMO patient?
Correct!
Wrong!
Perfusion should be monitored to prevent end-organ damage.
Which device is used to monitor cardiac function in ECMO patients?
Correct!
Wrong!
Echocardiography is vital for assessing cardiac recovery or dysfunction.
Why is daily fluid balance monitoring important in ECMO therapy?
Correct!
Wrong!
Fluid overload can worsen outcomes in ECMO patients.
