Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

A 45-year-old woman presented to the emergency department of a tertiary referral hospital after taking an overdose of verapamil, doxepin, quetiapine, diazepam, temazepam, and clonazepam. She rapidly developed shock refractory to pharmacological support and was placed on percutaneous venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). She had a severe metabolic acidosis from a combination of shock and drug intoxication that improved with continuous venovenous haemodialysis. Forty-eight hours after presentation, while still on ECMO, the patient had complete cardiac standstill for three and a half hours, attributable to slow-release verapamil, that resolved after the commencement of plasmapheresis. The role of plasmapheresis in verapamil overdose requires further study.

This review summarizes the European rules to control the market when introducing new products. In particular, it shows all the steps to achieve the European Conformity (CE Mark), a certification that all new medical products must achieve before being used in Europe. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices are exposed to the same procedures. Hereby, we present some regulatory issues regarding pumps and oxygenators, providing technical details as released by the manufacturers on their websites and information charts.
