Puncture and wiring of extracorporeal circuit for cannula safe removal or exchange

Samuel Heller et al. Perfusion. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

A previously undescribed technique for removing a cannula used in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is proposed, using an over-the-wire technique by puncturing the circuit and continuing with a pre-close technique for access site closure.

Keywords: cannula; exchange; extracorporeal life support; pre-close technique; removal.
