Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template.
ECMO is performed using a heart-lung bypass machine similar to the one used during open heart surgery. The ECMO machine, often referred to as a âcircuit,â is quite large and contains sterile plastic tubing that moves blood from your baby to the âECMO lungâ and then back to your child.CMO is performed using a heart-lung bypass machine similar to the one used during open heart surgery.

Open heart surgery is any type of surgery where the chest is cut open and surgery is performed on the muscles, valves, or arteries of the heart. According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common type of heart surgery done on adults. During this surgery, a healthy artery or vein is grafted (attached) to a blocked coronary (heart) artery. This allows the grafted artery to âbypassâ the blocked artery and bring fresh blood to the heart (NHLBI). Open heart surgery is sometimes called traditional heart surgery.
