Imaging adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
This article will describe the imaging appearance of different ECMO circuits in adults as well as commonly encountered complications.

In such cases, an optimal image can be obtained by lowering the flow rate of the ECMO circuit or by disabling the circuit for the duration of image acquisition.
Key Points
• Femoroatrial VV ECMO: femoral vein drainage cannula and right atrial return cannula.
