"Technical considerations "

Line 2:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.
Adjectival Hyphens
error

"if there is no central access, contrast can be injected via the pre-oxygenator port"

Line 17:72 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-oxygenator'.

"Preserved left ventricle function causes mixing of non-enhanced antegrade blood flow with contrast-enhanced retrograde flow in the proximal aorta. This can cause preferential enhancement of left arm and neck vessels6 and mimic dissection1."

Line 44:223 · Citations must have a preceding space, e.g. needs evidence <sup>2</sup>. '<sup>6</sup>'

"Preserved left ventricle function causes mixing of non-enhanced antegrade blood flow with contrast-enhanced retrograde flow in the proximal aorta. This can cause preferential enhancement of left arm and neck vessels6 and mimic dissection1."

"When attempting CTPA, contrast may be preferentially aspirated by the ECMO circuit with the right heart delivering minimal contrast to the pulmonary circulation, leaving pulmonary arteries un-opacified. Decreasing ECMO flow rates, increasing contrast volume and delaying scan time are possible solutions5."

"NB: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design 1-5. The specifics will vary, each department will have stringent well-written guidelines to ensure these examinations are completed safely per local policy."

Line 10:6 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': This article'.

"Venovenous (VV) ECMO"

Line 11:5 · 'Venovenous (VV) ECMO' should use sentence-style capitalization.

"The injection will be through a pressure-rated central line. The blood flow should be reduced to the lowest possible (and safest) setting."

Line 28:90 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>reduced</strong>'

"The contrast will be injected via the ECMO circuit and will require the blood flow to be increased to the highest possible (and safest) setting."

Line 33:93 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>increased </strong>'
