The primary goal of ECMO is to provide oxygen delivery and increase carbon dioxide.

In ECMO, the “M” stands for:

Types of ECMO:

ECMO is exclusively used for newborns having Respiratory Failure in 1980s. The primary conditions of patients placed on ECMO are:

Indications for ECMO in Newborns

Contraindications for ECMO in Newborns

Echocardiography is extremely useful during ECMO therapy.

A severe bleed is an indication for the cessation of ECMO.

Even with initiation of ECMO, barotrauma events may occur.

High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) use during and after cardiac surgery, especially for children undergoing right ventricular outflow tract diversion or repair.

_______ is a more efficacious method of treating traumatic or acquired bronchopleural fistulas than other forms of respiratory support.

_______ is a modification of time-cycled, pressure-limited infant ventilators that provide breathing rates up to 150 breaths per minute (2.5 Hz).

_______ was first described in the anesthesia literature as a tool for managing patients during bronchoscopic or laryngeal surgery.

HFV operate at breathing rates of 4 to 15 Hz (1 Hz = 100 breaths per minute or 1 cycle per second).

This mode is used when the clinician needs to maintain complete control over a patient’s ventilation variables.

This mode allows the clinician control over most of the patient’s ventilation variables except for frequency.

One of the disadvantages of this mode is work of breathing may be increased, especially for patients who are “fighting the ventilator.”

This mode has no sensing mechanism resulting in the inability to synchronize breaths with spontaneous effort.

This mode has sensing mechanism is built to avoid patient–ventilator asynchrony.

A type of Adaptive Control Mode (ACM) that breath delivery is terminated if delivered tidal volume exceeds 130% of the set tidal volume.

_______ allows the patient full neurological control of the triggering, magnitude, and timing of the mechanical support provided, regardless of changes in respiratory drive, mechanics, and muscle function.

________ use a high external pressure gradient to drive a gas mixture into the lungs and produce inflation.

________ permits gas flow into the lungs by using a vacuum to externally expand the thorax.

________ is a birth injury caused by trauma to an infant’s head during childbirth.

________ is an accumulation of blood that forms between your newborn’s skull and the skin on their scalp.

________ a neuromuscular disorder that has a myelin sheath destruction.

________ interferes with the chemical transmission of acetylcholine (ACh) between the axonal terminal and receptor site of voluntary muscles.

First line of treatment for symptomatic MG.

________ often known as lockjaw, is a dangerous but treatable disease that affects the muscles and nerves of the body.

Tdap is a booster immunization given at age 6 that offers continued protection from those diseases for adolescents and adults.

The symptoms of Cushing’s Triad:

________ is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain.

________ is an inflammation (swelling) of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.

_______ is usually less serious and goes away without treatment.
