Abstract: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a life support technique for patients with severe respiratory failure. In the past, single lumen cannula was mostly used to constract the vascular pathway of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Compared with single-lumen cannula, double lumen cannula (DLC) can reduce recirculation fraction, reduce complications such as infection and bleeding, and facilitate patient's rehabilitation. DLC requires accurate positioning of the catheter. It has been gradually applied in China. This paper will review the key points related to the use of DLC, such as the insertion, position, and complications, etc. to provide guidance for clinical application practice.
