Overview
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of long-term heart-lung bypass most commonly used to support newborn infants in cardiac and/or respiratory failure. One of the more common complications is clots forming in the circuit. This group designed a three read-out digital pressure monitoring system with audible and visual alarms to monitor an ECMO circuit. Pressure readings can be measured from a post-pump/pre-oxygenator line, a post-oxygenator/pre-heat exchanger line, and a post-heat exchanger/pre-patient line. These pressures are displayed digitally in mmHG on three 7-segment LCD displays. The system is programmable depending on patient norms and diagnosed pathologies. When the pressure deviates from the programmed range, an audible alarm is sounded, and a light flashes indicating which of the three pressure lines is deviant.Images
