Figure 1

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a pregnant woman on the intensive care unit (ICU). A venous outflow cannula (23F, 50 cm) inserted in the right femoral vein (blue arrow) delivers deoxygenated blood for the ECMO circuit. After oxygenation via an extracorporeal membrane, the blood is reperfused via a central venous inflow cannula (17F, 18 cm) inserted in the vena subclavia sinistra (red arrow). In this figure, the ECMO device (white arrow) produces an extracorporeal circulation with 4.2 l/min driven by a pump frequency of 3895 rotations per minute.
