Nursing care: aspect in treatment ECMO patients
Nataly Lazarovitch
Sheba Medical Center, Israel
E
xtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex and expensive technology that can be used to provide
temporary support during respiratory and heart (or bough) failure. Two cases of critically ill patients who received ECMO
using different forms of circuitry and for different indications are presented. Both patients had life-threating problems with
shock and were not able to be supported by conventional means. We discuss the expanding indications for this technology and
the role it must play in our intensive care nursing management. We find several important managerial and policy implications
regarding technological adoption, like ECMO, specialization in this professional domain, and the quality of interaction nursing
team. Focuses on the process of decision making in managing the care of ECMO clients experiencing critical conditions that
are life threatening and/or involving multiple body systems and multiple machine systems. Complex medical-surgical-nursing
conditions in intensive care units are discussed in terms of pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatments that are based
on current research and experience over the years.
