NRP Cannulation techniques and Blood Conservation during NRP
A-NRP utilizes extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology, including a pump, oxygenator, and heater, to maintain normothermic (37°C) blood flow to abdominal organs in situ. This process reverses warm ischemic damage, improving organ quality for transplantation. However, simultaneous procurement of thoracic organs, such as lungs, can lead to significant blood loss in the chest, compromising circulatory support for abdominal organs. Blood conservation techniques are thus essential to ensure adequate perfusion and maintain organ function.
