Asses the knowledge regarding ECMO machines: An Explanatory study

Abstract BACKGROUND:
Discoveries in critical care medicine constantly stretch the bounds of what can be done to save lives. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a significant and innovative advancement in life support techniques that assist patients suffering from severe lung or heart failure by providing both cardiac and respiratory support. From its inception in the 1970s, ECMO has been elevated to a high degree of technological intervention that provides patients with a lifeline in times of critical illness.
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) machines are used in India to treat various conditions, including heart and lung failure, heart surgery, and COVID-19. ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a machine that mimics the functions of the heart and lungs. It delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide through the bloodstream. It supports the body when the lungs or heart cannot do so. The ECMO machine helps pump and oxygenate the blood outside the body, allowing the lungs and the heart to “rest”. ECMO has proved to be beneficial in saving the lives of hundreds of patients. The facility has some of the best specialists and state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best treatment for patients.
The main purpose of ECMO is to sustain patients who are not responding to traditional treatments and have severe cardiac or respiratory failure. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), cardiogenic shock, post-cardiotomy syndrome, and severe pneumonia are a few examples of these ailments. When this happens, ECMO acts as a temporary solution to help the patient heal until the underlying medical condition goes away or they can receive more permanent treatments like lung or heart transplants.
Keywords Keywords: ECMO, Pulmonary Embolism, ARDS, Pneumonia, cardiogenic shock, post-cardiotomy syndrome.
