Skin microvascular morphology and hemodynamics during treatment with veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract

Skin microvascular pathology as detected with video microscopy (pericapillary bleedings or haloes, micro-thrombi/capillaries with "no flow", low FCD with high spatial distribution heterogeneity or low mean flow-categorial velocity) seems to be associated with poor prognosis.
