The Conventional Ventilatory Support vs. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Adult Respiratory Failure (CESAR) Trial was a UK-based multicenter RCT aiming to evaluate the safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of ECMO compared to conventional mechanical ventilation in adults with severe but reversible respiratory failure. [63]
Similarly as with adults ECMO is only indicated if reversal of the pathology for example with cardiac transplantation, is feasible. [27] When it comes to the consideration of the withdrawal of ECMO, unlike in adult populations parents are encouraged to make the final decision with guidance from the treating physicians.
The most common form of venous access is a peripheral venous cannula which is generally inserted into veins of the hands, forearms, and occasionally feet. [1] Healthcare providers may use a number of different techniques in order to improve the chances of successful access.
Those who have a CLABSI have a 2.75 times increased risk of dying compared to those who do not. [10] CLABSI is also associated with longer intensive care unit and hospital stays, at 2.5 and 7.5 days respectively when other illness related factors are adjusted for. [10] Microbes can gain access to the bloodstream via a central catheter a number ...

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) does not recommend one specific recovery position, but advises on six key principles to be followed: [4] The casualty should be in as near a true lateral position as possible with the head dependent [clarification needed] to allow free drainage of fluid. The position should be stable.
For adults, 20 Fr to 40 Fr (6.7 to 13.3mm external diameter) are commonly used, and 6 Fr to 26 Fr for children. Conventional chest tubes feature multiple drainage fenestrations in the section of the tube which resides inside the patient, as well as distance markers along the length of the tube, and a radiopaque stripe which outlines the first ...
[2] Contrary to advanced airway management, basic airway management technique do not rely on the use of invasive medical equipment and can be performed with less training. Medical equipment commonly used includes oropharyngeal airway, nasopharyngeal airway, bag valve mask, and pocket mask.
