Abstract:
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a promising alternative for newborns with critical respiratory disease, where conservative management is no longer sufficient. - Indications for ECMO include mainly the diagnoses Persisting Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN), Meconium-Aspiration and Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. In patients with a mortality-prognosis of 80-100% ECMO will raise survival rates to about 80% with a good general developmental prognosis. Conditions, trainee programs, and experiences up to the first clinical application of ECMO are reported.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:
Mechanical Ventilation III: Noninvasive Ventilation
Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV)
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management
