Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a rapidly emerging treatment for respiratory or cardiac failure and is used as a bridge to recovery, transplant, or destination therapy. Adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation also receive significant amounts of pharmacotherapy. Although the body of literature on extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation in general is extensive, only a few publications focus on pharmacokinetic changes related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults. Understanding pharmacokinetics in adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is important to correctly select and dose medications in this patient population. This article reviews published studies of the effects of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on pharmacokinetics in adults.

A case report of successful application of peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with chronic type B aortic dissection and myocardial stunning to bridge to recovery was presented. Good outcomes from the application of peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in aortic dissection have rarely been reported, and the considerations of starting veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in this situation were seldom discussed. The orthodox that peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an absolute contraindication for initiation of peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation should be challenged. With proper planning and real-time transesophageal echocardiography–guided cannulation, peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is possibly beneficial. The considerations and echocardiography-guided techniques would be discussed in this report.
