Respiratory clinical guidelines inform ward-based nurses’ clinical skills and knowledge required for evidence-based care

Respiratory clinical guidelines provide clinicians with evidence-based guidance for practice. Clinical guidelines also provide an opportunity to identify the knowledge and technical and non-technical skills required by respiratory ward-based registered nurses. The aim of this review was to use a systematic process to establish the core technical and non-technical skills and knowledge identified...

“Awake” extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): pathophysiology, technical considerations, and clinical pioneering

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) has been classically employed as a rescue therapy for patients with respiratory failure not treatable with conventional mechanical ventilation alone. In recent years, however, the timing of ECMO initiation has been readdressed and ECMO is often started earlier in the time course of respiratory failure. Furthermore, some centers are starti...

End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring in pediatric emergencies.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring is useful in the prehospital setting, emergency department, intensive care unit, and operating room. Capnography provides valuable, timely information about the function of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. End-tidal CO2 monitoring is the single most useful method in confirming endotracheal tube position. It also provides information abou...
