In pediatric patients with cardiopulmonary failure after cardiac surgery, there is an increase in the use of temporary cardiopulmonary support systems if optimal conventional treatment methods are inadequate. An extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support device is one of the temporary cardiopulmonary support modalities used for these patients. Advanced nursing care can significantly contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity of pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Nurses working in cardiovascular surgery intensive care units should be trained in caring for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. This paper describes the nursing care of patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support after pediatric cardiac surgery.
