Big machine. Big lines. Very sick patient. But what is ECMO actually doing? In this episode, Hao unpacks VV and VA ECMO in plain, human language — from the femoral vein to the internal jugular vein, from the femoral artery to the aorta, and the real difference between supporting lungs and supporting circulation. If ECMO has ever sounded intimidating, this is the episode that strips it down and makes it teachable.
