Restoring heart & lung health with ECMO Treatment at Yashoda hospitals
For patients with life-threatening heart and lung issues, ECMO is the best method that temporarily takes over the functions of these two essential organs in the body when other life support measures have failed.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) helps replace the function of the lungs and heart when they are not able to function normally, even with medication or the assistance of a ventilator. This happens until the heart and lungs can be treated until they resume their normal function. In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO support, blood is pumped outside of the body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-filled blood back to tissues in the body. During the ECMO procedure, blood flows from the right side of the heart to the membrane oxygenator in a Heart-Lung machine, and then is rewarmed and sent back to the body. In the meanwhile the ECMO equipment will pump blood for the heart and will exchange oxygen for the lungs. The ECMO removes blood from the body and moves it through a pump which is then filtered through a membrane oxygenator that adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. A specialist doctor will place the cannula into a large vein and a large artery at the leg or neck.
