Abstract
The ECLS circuit is composed of a variety of specialized devices that need to function separately and in concert to support the patient. As each case and patient will demand different solutions, circuits vary in their features. This chapter provides a fund of knowledge regarding these components: what function they provide, the general principles involved, and how to identify device compromise or failure. It therefore serves as a guide for building a circuit for each patient; balancing the various needs at hand requires an understanding of such matters. Also discussed are priming of the circuit and patient–circuit interactions such as drug adsorption and inflammation due to blood–surface interaction.
