Transesophageal echocardiographic views for Avalon VV ECMO cannulation

View Modality Key echocardiographic findings
Midesophageal RV inflow-outflow 2D, CFD Laminar vs turbulent outflow across tricuspid valve
Midesophageal bicaval 2D Visualize the tip of the catheter just distal to cavoatrial junction
Midesophageal modified bicaval CFD Laminar vs turbulent outflow across tricuspid valve
Transgastric RV inflow CFD Look for laminar vs turbulent outflow across tricuspid valve

CFD, Color flow Doppler; RV, right ventricular; 2D, two-dimensional.
