for patients connected to VA ECMO due to cardiogenic shock, monitoring:
1. Cerebral Oximetry
2. ECMO Parameters ECMO blood flow (L/min) every 12 hours. Sweep gas flow Cannulation configuration
3. Pulmonary Artery Catheter Data and hemodynamics:
Cardiac output / cardiac index, SvO₂, Central venous pressure (CVP).
4. other variables: P/F ratio, MAP, Heart rate, Arterial blood gases, hemoglobin, Lactate, Vasopressor / inotrope doses and Sedation score (RASS).
5. Echocardiography parameters: recorded every 12 hours. LV ejection fraction. LVOT VTi. LVED dimension. Aortic valve opening.
6. Follow-up data:
* ECMO duration.
* Need for oxygen therapy/mechanical ventilation.
* ICU survival.
