The ECMO system is a complex machine that takes over the work of the heart and lungs, allowing them to rest and recover. The ECMO machine pumps the patient's blood out of their body, adds oxygen to it, removes carbon dioxide, and then pumps it back into the patient. This process helps to support the patient's vital organs and gives them time to heal.
The multidisciplinary ICU at Aster Hospital Whitefield is staffed by a team of highly trained and experienced healthcare professionals who are skilled in the use of ECMO. The team works closely with the patient's primary care team to develop a personalized treatment plan, monitor the patient's progress, and make adjustments to the ECMO system as needed.
ECMO is a complex and highly specialized treatment that requires expertise and experience to manage safely and effectively. The multidisciplinary ICU at Aster Hospital Whitefield is well-equipped to provide ECMO services to patients who require this advanced life support technique. The combination of state-of-the-art technology, a skilled and experienced healthcare team, and a patient-centred approach to care makes the ICU at Aster Hospital Whitefield a top choice for critically ill patients who require ECMO services.
