Recall clinical scenarios in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is considered during cardiopulmonary resuscitation when conventional airway and circulatory support fails

Explain the relationship between advanced airway management, effective ventilation, and the successful implementation of ECPR in pediatric cardiac intensive care settings

Apply anticipatory airway and resuscitation planning for patients identified as high risk for cardiac arrest where ECMO may be required

Analyze patient deterioration patterns to determine when early escalation—including airway optimization and pre‑arrest ECMO cannulation—may improve outcomes

Evaluate airway and ventilation preparedness as integral components of ECPR strategy in critically ill pediatric patients
