CHILDRENExtra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technology capable of providing short-term mechanical support to the heart and/or lungs (Millar et al 2016).doi:10.7748/ncyp.33.6.19.s9Stephenson, MikeNursing Children & Young People
Around-the-clock care is provided by highly trained ECMO nurses. Many ECMO ICUs have one nurse to look after the ECMO machine and another to look after the patient, who remains critically ill and usually on a full suite of other life support measures in addition to ECMO. These might inclu...
A membraneoxygenatoris a device that mimics the function of the lungs, pullingcarbon dioxideout of the blood and infusing it withoxygen. This equipment can be used for short termcardiopulmonary bypassin surgical procedures. It is also available in the form ofextracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)...

That said, there are medical devices and treatments that can make up for a loss of function in these organs, at least temporarily — for example, ECMO machines can do the work of the heart and lungs, and dialysis can filter the blood of people with kidney failure. Fast facts The average...
ECMO was also necessary in a patient with a history of asthma who developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) secondary to EC use [113]. Table 2. Studies addressing research question 3: What is the effect of EC on the clinical characteristics of asthma? 3.4. Is EC Use an Effective ...
