Purpose
This purpose of this assignment is for the student to present a complete picture of interdisciplinary care using specific
therapeutic modalities in the care of a complex adult health client. The student will demonstrate clinical reasoning skills
and will discuss interdisciplinary care that had been incorporated and/or anticipated using a healthcare technology or
therapeutic modality for the care of the complex health client.
Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
1. Provide patient and family centered nursing care to adults with complex health needs using theories and principles
of nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1)
2. Initiate the use of appropriate resources in direct care responsibilities within complex adult health situations. (PO 2)
3. Demonstrate effective therapeutic communication and relationship skills in family centered nursing care to adults
with complex health needs. (PO 3)
4. Demonstrate effective clinical decision making based on critical thinking skills and legal, ethical, and professional
standards and principles when caring for patients and families with complex adult health needs. (POs 4 and 6)
5. Implement a plan of care for continued personal, professional, and educational development related to nursing
practice with complex adult health situations. (PO 5)
7. Use evidence including research findings from nursing and related disciplines to answer clinical questions related to
nursing care of patients with complex adult health needs. (PO 8)
Due date: Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due . The Late Assignment Policy applies to
this assignment.

Introduction
The therapeutic modality I will be discussing with this paper is Extracorporeal Membrane
Oxygenation, or ECMO. This therapeutic modality is one that requires specific training above
and beyond general entry-level nursing education as it deals with very complex technology and
is utilized in patients with a severe condition that could potentially be life-threatening and must
be handled delicately. An example of a case study in which this therapeutic modality would be
utilized is an 80-year-old female client who is experiencing myocarditis, or inflammation of the
heart muscle. The patient is frail and having difficulty breathing, fainting, experiencing chest
pain, and is feeling lightheaded and fatigued. After administrations of ACE inhibitors, diuretics,
and beta blockers have not helped improve her heart condition, the health care provider has
decided to focus on measures to ease the load off of the patient’s heart instead. This is when the
ECMO therapeutic modality will come into play as the provider has ordered for the patient to be
placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to allow her heart and lungs to rest and heal.
Explanation and Background
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation is essentially a machine that provides life support
for patients with illnesses that are so severe and even life-threatening that their heart and lungs
can no longer sustain the workload to continue to properly support their systems on their own
(American Thoracic Society, 2020). ECMO provides these individuals with a support by working
outside their bodies to pump blood from the patient to an artificial lung device where oxygen is
added, and the blood is artificially pumped back into the patient as their heart normally would.
There is no specific patient population that this therapeutic modality is used for, as it can be
utilized across all age ranges from pediatric to geriatric, however it is meant for people suffering
from certain illnesses or disorders. The patient population this modality would be aimed towards

effectively pump enough blood to their entire body, those whose lungs are not strong enough to
