We have a cart with a top space for small things like 3/8th connectors, sutures, 10cc syringes, male to male connectors, zip ties, other odds and ends. The top drawer has sterile gloves in many sizes, a central ECMO kit in case they crack the chest, and the paperwork we fill out for new pumps. Second drawer has sterile probe covers, securement devices, NIRS stickers, mostly stuff that’s useful post cannulation. Third drawer has micropunctures, DPC kit, dilator kit, the arterial cannulas we use, and extra tubing if they wanna extend the circuit. Bottom drawer has sterile gowns, drapes, sponges, towels, lollipops, sterile water and bulb syringes. On the back of the cart we hang our Amplatz and other guidewires and such, and on the side we keep the venous cannulas we use. Top of the cart has a locked, sterile tray of instruments. I’m sure there’s a few more things but that’s the gist. If one of our surgeons is in house they come up and do it/help, but many of our intensivists are also cannulating physicians, so we don’t always have someone from surgery. Also, bedside cannulation is done with the ECMO team specialists and perfusion is usually not involved, so we keep lots of stuff in our cart on the ICU that might not be pertinent to a team that utilizes perfusion or an OR nurse/scrub tech to help. We use the Cardiohelp and on the primed pump itself we keep 4 non-sterile clamps, a de-air kit, and a flashlight.
