ECMO Circuit Integrity Dashboard

PRODUCT TITLE:

ECMO Circuit Integrity Monitor — Clinical Decision Support Tool

SHORT DESCRIPTION (shown in store listing):

A standalone clinical dashboard for real-time ECMO circuit integrity surveillance — oxygenator failure, hemolysis, and thrombosis risk in one view. Built by a board-certified cardiovascular perfusionist with 20 years of ECMO experience. No login. No internet required. Opens in any browser.

FULL DESCRIPTION:

Oxygenator failure does not announce itself. By the time it is visible on the circuit, the patient has already been at risk for hours.

The ECMO Circuit Integrity Monitor is a standalone clinical tool built to catch the early signal, not the late one. It runs as a single HTML file in any browser, on any device — laptop, tablet, or bedside workstation. No installation. No login. No internet connection required.

WHAT IT TRACKS:

• Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) — early oxygenator thrombosis warning

• Inlet Pressure — venous drainage compromise, hypovolemia, cannula malposition

• Flow / RPM Ratio — declining flow at the same or higher RPM signals developing circuit resistance before it is visible elsewhere

• Pre/Post Oxygenator Pressure Differential — membrane lung degradation tracking

• Plasma Free Hemoglobin (pf-Hgb) — the early hemolysis signal most bedside monitoring sets miss

• LDH — confirms active hemolysis in correlation with pf-Hgb

• Haptoglobin — saturation marker, confirms when the body's own buffering capacity is exhausted

KEY FEATURES:

• Color-coded status indicators — GREEN, YELLOW, RED for every parameter

• Live trend arrows — see the direction before it becomes a crisis

• Automatic Oxygenator Failure Risk Alert — activates when TMP and pre/post differential are rising together

• Automatic Hemolysis Signal Alert — activates when plasma free Hgb and LDH are elevated together, often before the oxygenator shows visible clot

• Timestamped entry log with a notes field for every parameter

• Shift summary export for flow sheet documentation

• Print to PDF for the medical record

• Dark clinical theme, optimized for bedside use

• Mobile responsive — works on tablets at the bedside

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Plasma free hemoglobin is a significant nitric oxide sink. As it rises, NO consumption increases, native platelet inhibition declines, and the circuit moves toward a thrombotic state — often before any visible clot appears in the oxygenator. Most bedside monitoring sets do not connect these dots in real time. This tool does.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Perfusionists, ECMO specialists, critical care nurses, and intensivists managing patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Ideal for programs strengthening circuit surveillance protocols and reducing unplanned oxygenator changeouts.
