Popis: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming more and more clinically important. The extracorporeal circuit for membrane oxygenation consists of a pump, a membrane oxygenator and large volume tubing. The ECMO device forms an additional compartment, which can absorb drugs with high lipophilia and protein binding. Thus, ECMO affects the volume of distribution and the clearance. As a consequence, the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (pk-pd) target parameters cannot be achieved. The selection of an appropriate substance and the mode of application, combined with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), can significantly improve the therapeutic outcome of critically ill patients.
