If the heart or lungs stop functioning properly for patients who are critically ill, timely access to advanced medical care can be of great help. At Aster CMI Hospital, we provide specialized care for such patients through our ECMO center. We are an Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registered centre, trying to provide the best care. Our experts use advanced technology to improve the patient's chance of survival.
What do you mean by ECMO?
ECMO stands for Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation. It is an artificial life support offered when the lungs or heart does not function properly. ECMO gives time for vital organs to rest and heal by keeping your body’s oxygen and blood circulation smoothly. It is used in the critical medical conditions that include:
- Severe lung infections like pneumonia or ARDS
- Heart failure or heart attack
- After complicated lung or heart surgeries
- During or after cardiac arrest
- As a bridge to heart or lung transplant
It is helpful when all other treatments or medications are no longer effective.
