By recognizing and identifying the person's vulnerability during ECMO as a bridge to lung transplantation, nurses can implement effective interventions to minimize vulnerability in this population, thus contributing to the person's well-being through personalization and individualization of care. Additionally, the results of this review could be useful for developing tools to assess the degree of vulnerability and for implementing person-centered care measures and policies. However, further research is warranted given the scarcity of literature on these topics.
