Summary
This review maps evidence on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) education for nurses. It highlights limited evidence-based educational approaches despite growing demand for skilled nursing professionals in ECMO care.
Area of Science:
- Critical Care Nursing
- Medical Education
- Nursing Professional Development
Background:
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) involves high-acuity patients requiring specialized nursing care.
- There is a growing demand for a skilled nursing workforce to manage complex ECMO cases.
- Current evidence-based educational strategies for nursing professionals in ECMO are limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review mapping the available evidence on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) education for nursing professionals.
- To identify and synthesize existing educational approaches and outcomes for nurses managing ECMO patients.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search across 6 databases and gray literature was performed.
- Studies included nursing professionals (RNs, APRNs, students) in academic/clinical settings using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods.
- Data were descriptively analyzed by study characteristics, educational program features, and outcomes.
Main Results:
- The review will map the current landscape of ECMO education for nurses.
- It aims to identify gaps and trends in educational strategies and reported outcomes.
- Descriptive analysis will characterize existing educational programs and their effectiveness.
Conclusions:
- This scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of ECMO education for nursing professionals.
- Findings will inform the development of evidence-based educational strategies to enhance nursing competency in ECMO care.
- The review addresses the critical need for improved nursing education in managing complex, high-acuity ECMO patients.

01:19Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications
Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:24Pulse Oximetry
Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
Purpose
Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...

01:26Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
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:...

01:16Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

01:29Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
