Early CPR and ECMO Saves Cardiac Arrest Patient at Manipal Hospital

A patient suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at Manipal Hospital in Karnataka early Monday, prompting an immediate response from the medical team.

Within minutes, chest compressions were initiated and, after rapid assessment, the team connected the patient to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine, providing temporary heart‑lung support until circulation stabilized.

The successful revival underscores Manipal Hospital’s advanced critical care capabilities and demonstrates the life‑saving potential of combined CPR and ECMO. Source: Google News – Manipal.
