Nurses have to be trained and should have specific knowledge and practices of the new technologies to enable them to provide safe efficient care to such group of patients. Aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of ECMO educational program on nurses’ knowledge and practices Research design: Quasi- experimental research design was utilized in the current study. Research hypothesis: H1-Critical care nurses who will attend the educational program about care of patient connected to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) will have a higher post- test mean knowledge scores as compared to their pre -test mean knowledge scores all through the assessment times .H2-Critical care nurses who will attend the educational program about care of patients connected to (ECMO) will have a higher post mean practice scores as compared to their pre- test mean practice scores all through the assessment times. Sample: Convenience samples of 34 nurses working in the selected critical care department were included in the current study
