“…According to the ELSO guidelines, treatment of ECMO-SPs should use a single-caregiver model, with a ratio of 1 RN to 1 patient. 10 In contrast, Priest et al 11 and Johnson 12 discussed a 2:1 model, with 1 RN in charge of treating the patient and 1 ECMO technician (nurse or perfusionist) looking after the ECMO machinery and circuit. According to the recommendations of the New Zealand Ministry of Health, caring for each ECMO-SP requires 2 RNs, 1 for the patient and 1 for the ECMO circuit, in the absence of a perfusionist.…”

Background By July 2020, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization had documented more than 133 000 extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) implementations, with more than 61 000 implementations in adult patients. No clear policies regarding the authority and responsibility of nursing staff in the treatment of ECMO-supported patients are currently available. Objective To formulate evidence-based recommendations for nursing care of ECMO-supported patients. Methods The National Head Nurse’s office and the Professional Guidelines Department in the Nursing Division of Israel’s Ministry of Health formed the Professional Advisory Committee on Nursing Practice in the Care of ECMO-Supported Patients to address concerns regarding the current state of professional nursing practice in the care of these patients. The Professional Advisory Committee brought together 15 senior Israeli ECMO nursing experts who explored the potential of registered nurses in caring for ECMO-supported patients, considered the competencies of nurses treating ECMO-supported patients, discussed training programs and health care policy, and examined nursing outcomes for quality assurance. Results The Professional Advisory Committee formulated recommendations regarding the following priority issues: (1) determining boundaries of professional authority and nurses’ responsibilities, including designated activities for different professional ranks of registered nurses; (2) providing appropriate content for the training programs offered, such as generic/basic, above-basic, and clinical specialization nursing programs; and (3) defining relevant quality measures for nursing treatment of ECMO-supported patients. Conclusions Introducing international standards would ensure the safety and effectiveness of nursing care for ECMO-supported patients through quality and risk management and establishment of new evidence-based nursing practices.

“…Bu ünite hemen hemen tüm tıp uzmanlıklarının, sağlık personelleri ve destek hizmetlerinin bir araya getirildiği oldukça kritik bir alandır. Yoğun bakım üniteleri tasarımı karmaşıktır ve tedavileri en üst düzeye çıkarmak ve riskleri en aza indirmek için hem hastalar hem de personel için en iyi ortamın sağlanması ve mümkün olduğunca ileri teknoloji ile donatılması gerekmektedir [6]. Çünkü uzun süre yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastalar, mevcut hastalıklarının yanında farklı risklerle de karşı karşıya kalabilmektedirler.…”

İnsan yaşamının yaklaşık üçte biri yatakta geçer. Özellikle yanık tedavi ve yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan bakıma muhtaç insanlar genellikle bütün gününü yatakta geçirirler. Uzun süre yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastalar, mevcut hastalıklarının yanında farklı risklerle de karşı karşıya kalabilmektedirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı; özellikle mobilizasyonu riskli olan gruplar için yoğun bakım ve yanık tedavi ünitesinde yatıp aynı zamanda fizik tedavi gereksinimi duyulan hastaların sedye aracılığı ile fizik tedavi ünitesine taşınmasını önleyecek, yoğun bakım ünitesinde iken bu tedaviyi almasına imkân sağlayacak kombine bir yatak ve yatak kontrol sisteminin tasarlanmasıdır.
