When a child’s heart or lungs are too weak to function despite maximum medical support, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) can provide a life-saving bridge to recovery.
ECMO is a highly specialized form of life support used in critically ill pediatric patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. It temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs, allowing these vital organs to rest and heal.
We offer:
Veno-arterial (VA) ECMO – for both heart and lung support
Veno-venous (VV) ECMO – for lung support alone
24/7 multidisciplinary team including pediatric intensivists, perfusionists, and ECMO specialists
State-of-the-art monitoring and post-ECMO care
Conditions we manage with ECMO include:
Severe pneumonia or ARDS
Refractory cardiac failure or post-cardiac surgery support
Life-threatening infections with multiorgan failure
Meconium aspiration syndrome or PPHN in newborns
With a focus on precision, safety, and compassionate care, our doctor ensures the highest level of critical support for children when every second counts.
