| Using Technology to Optimize ECMO Care for Children | Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, the infant son of President John F. Kennedy, was born five-and-half weeks early. As you know, the most difficult breath a human takes is their first, but little Patrick struggled for each breath he drew.
He was rushed to Boston Children’s Hospital and placed in a hyperbaric chamber, but he died less than 48 hours later. Respiratory Distress Syndrome was, in 1963, the most common cause of death among premature infants.
Patrick’s death drew much attention to the morbidity and mortality of premature birth. By the mid-1970’s, this emphasis led to innovations and neonatal applications such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Technology like the Transonic Extracorporeal Life Support Assurance (ELSA) Monitor can help optimize care for patients on ECMO. |
