ECMO at ILS Hospitals provides advanced life support for patients with severe heart or lung failure, ensuring expert care through cutting-edge technology, skilled specialists, and 24/7 recovery monitoring. It is used when medication or mechanical Ventilation fails to support organ function.
Our experts at ILS Hospitals divert blood flow through a machine that adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide before returning to the body, thereby allowing the heart and lungs to heal.
We mainly offer two types of ECMO :
- Veno-venous ECMO: We recommend this procedure for patients with severe Respiratory failure, providing respiratory support by oxygenating blood outside the body. This gives the lungs time to heal and recover.
- Veno-arterial ECMO: This method provides support for both the heart and lungs. We use it to maintain circulation during treatment for severe heart failure.
Our multidisciplinary team, composed of cardiologists and lung specialists, guides our ECMO program through 24/7 care and monitoring. It offers hope of recovery in life-threatening conditions, especially in cases of heart failure, severe pneumonia, or shock.
