Getinge ECMO solutions:
Gain time for life

With critically ill patients, there’s no time for delay.

Cardiogenic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock or pulmonary embolisms are conditions that can become life-threatening. Patients with severe cardiac and/or pulmonary failure require immediate support to maintain gas exchange and end-organ perfusion.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) provides clinicians a powerful option to help stabilize blood circulation and/or respiratory functions of affected patients. ^[1]

ECMO can provide time for the clinician to treat the underlying cause.

How can Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) help your patients?

For critically ill patients, time is precious. ECMO buys additional time, supporting organ perfusion, while the patient heals or further treatments are applied. This gives caregivers more time to optimize the patient's therapy while easing the body’s workload.

ECMO can be used for a wide range of indications in intensive care, emergency medicine, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and patient transport.

Clinicians trust Getinge’s knowledge and experience

Getinge ECMO systems are small and lightweight heart-lung support systems. Although Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is not a therapy itself, it acts as a bridge to further treatment, recovery or transplantation. This gives caregivers more time to optimize the patient's therapy while easing the body’s workload.

Getinge ECMO systems are intended for intra-hospital and some also for inter-hospital patient transport. Even during transport, the portable systems allow adequate oxygenation of the patient and CO₂ reduction to optimize organ perfusion.

Application areas and indications

ECMO offers a bridge to therapy for patients with a variety of medical conditions, including respiratory failure, ARDS, pulmonary embolism, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, failure to wean from bypass after cardiac surgery, or as a bridge to transplantation or placement of a ventricular assist device.

Cardiac Applications

ECMO and Cardiogenic Shock

ECMO has become a life-saving tool to support patients with severe and refractory cardiogenic shock, either after myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, myocarditis or intoxication.

eCPR and Cardiac Arrest

Annually, there are millions of cardiac arrest events all with low percent survival. Recent randomized controlled trials ^[2],^[3] suggest extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may provide a survival benefit in carefully selected patients with cardiac arrest.

Respiratory Applications

ECMO and Covid-19

Getinge ECMO solutions provide a resource for the care of patients with COVID-19, offering time for their damaged lungs to recover when mechanical ventilation is not enough.

ECMO and ARDS

Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV ECMO) solutions can be a resource for the care of patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

ECCO₂R and Respiratory Medicine

Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCO₂R) removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the blood using an extracorporeal circuit which facilitates the protection and recovery of the lungs.

The Italian experience: a practical advice

Professor Salvatore Grasso, Head of the Department of Anesthesia and Resuscitation at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Bari Aldo Moro Polyclinic, tells his story about the worst health care situation in Italy. Watch the video and learn what he experienced firsthand during the treatment of severely ill patients, at this time, infected by an unknown virus.

The Value of Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring

Beyond Basic - with advanced hemodynamic parameters. Learn more about blood pressure, blood flow, preload, afterload, contractility, and pulmonary edema parameters.

Understand hemodynamic data at a glance

Hemodynamic insights present valuable knowledge for physicians. In the OR, patients undergoing surgeries always benefit from close vigilance. Optimal perioperative fluid administration is the key for a successful recovery. In the ICU, the life of critically ill patient depends on the right decision for the next therapeutic step.

ARDS

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious lung condition that causes low blood oxygen. The incidence of ARDS varies widely.
