Excerpt

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapeutic option used increasingly in the treatment of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Choosing an adequate cannula type and insertion site can be a challenge. The insertion of a bi-caval dual lumen (Avalon®) catheter in the superior vena cava instead of two venous single-lumen catheters facilitates mobilisation and physiotherapy of patients, and hence is being used more and more [1]. …
