Rapid CPR and ECMO Rescue Save Cardiac Arrest Patient in Manipal Hospital

A cardiac arrest patient arrived at Manipal Hospital's emergency department in critical condition. The medical team initiated rapid cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and promptly instituted extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support to stabilize the patient.

ECMO, a sophisticated life‑support technique that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs, has increasingly been used in Indian tertiary centres to manage refractory cardiac and respiratory failures.

The successful revival underscores the hospital’s readiness to deliver advanced emergency care and could encourage wider adoption of ECMO protocols across Karnataka’s medical facilities. Source: Google News – Manipal.
