This machine just saved my brothers life. My brothers organs were shutting down from the delta virus. There was no chance he could recover the doctors said. He went through two cprs, His kidneys were failing, heart was failing and Lungs. A miracle happened and my brothers lungs started to heal. Thank you ecmo for saving my brother. I owe you my life and my brothers life.
I have cystic fibrosis and a few years ago, i lost one of my best CF friends. She had a double lung transplant and went into rejection... she was put on ECMO and never woke up. But it’s also important to remember that those with chronic lung disease most often ECMO and life support of any kind, is not successful. That being said, I’m so incredibly happy and relieved to hear of the COVID-19 and stroke patients as well as other patients who have needed ECMO that got a second chance at life. ❤️
I was on E.C.M.O. at Loma Linda University in Southern California when I was a child, 7 years old. At the time, E.C.M.O. was only in 6 hospitals nationwide. -Undiagnosed Epilepsy but an infection from Pneumonia. At 33 as a young adult and highly Self-Reflective, comfortable with my Mortality I am now more than ever eternally grateful to the doctors & nurses who helped saved my Life, basically. A few of which I am still in contact with today. This was beautiful to watch. God Bless Doctors, Nurses and the Neurologist Dr. Stephen Ashwal who save children's lives and work daily with this amazing machine ❤️ 🙏!! Peace ✌🏻 and Love from San Francisco 💕
ECMO was the tech that saved our 3 year old in October when she went into accute respiratory failure from a virus. ♥️ 5 months later and you can't even tell. If you hear ECMO, there's hope! Pray!
Praise God your 3 year old made it! My husband is on ecmo for COVID. He has SRDS, (I think that’s the acronym). The doctor told me today that his lungs are fine, but they are very inflamed. That gave me hope. I pray that he heals up soon, it’s tough seeing your loved one like this.
@@bambicampbell247 Thank you so much!! God is so good. I believe that He is healing my husband and healing the family as well. Things like this brings the family together. Again, thank you so much. Prayers are so powerful.
@@zephirinedrouhin3735 Hi! My sister is currently on ECMO, 4 days in. I am so glad and happy Jehova God is hearing your prayers and caring for your husband. May he recover, goodluck
@@dentoninman1496 he's been on it 2 days he's still the same .. He flat lined on Jan 7th they got him back quick .. They put him in a medical coma and ventilator but he kept getting worse .. So now is on ECMO .. Double pneumonia has did this to him .. He's just 32 years old with a wife and 4 kids .. How are you doing now since the ECMO? And thank you for tesponding it means a lot to me
@@davenstorm2722 Good to go. Same thing. Total respiratory failure due to pneumonia that I let go unchecked for a few months. The Drs at Methodist didnt think I was gonna make it. It was a last ditch effort and I made it. I was 39.
My son is currently on an ecmo machine. He was born with a rare heart defect called cctga and ebsteins anomaly of the tricuspid valve. Only found out at 12 and in heart failure. The op to fix the valve caused 2 cardiac arrests then his heart was too weak and now he's currently on ecmo. Please pray he gets better 🙏
My little Sister was on this and it saved her life she was born with a Heart Defect she had a hole in her heart and was 10 days on this she had 2 Heart Surgery then a Complication happend the lungs had Pleuritis they also did Lung Surgery and later her Kidneys collapsed they didnt function later out of a miracle her kidneys start functioning thank God but sadly she also had a Ischamie in the Brain now she is disabled cant talk also because of very strong medication and has a Heart Vavle maybe oneday she needs a new Heart Surgery we dont know yet what will come but she had many Heart Problems even after this she had to take Heart and Kidney Medication its a rly miracle story but its also rly not easy because she dont understand it🥺😭
Yes the heart still beats 💓 the electrical signals in the heart keep it going and don't need to be stopped. The ecmo is just giving the heart extra help.

Oh, praise God, I’m so happy to hear success from ecmo!
Finally, someone recovered from COVID-19 because of this! ECMO truly is amazing, even for stroke patients in ICU.

Awesome technology, requires more expertise. God bless doctors and nurses for the work they do. ❤🙏

Hope your son is OK. Sending love and prayers x
how is he now?
Praying for your son 🙏🏻
How is he doing now?
Aww thanks for asking. He is OK now the ecmo saved his life. @@danielhummerston4454
We use this stuff for Hantavirus in Chile, giving 60% of survivability instead of 0%. Now it's also used for critical coronavirus covid-19 patients
I thought it was up to 80% if caught early?
@@michellemichelle5202 I'm not expert in the matter, at all. I read that number somewhere, if you can correct me I'll appreciate!
@@dieglhix Nor am I. But this is where I got my information from

@@michellemichelle5202 Thanks!
Saved my life when I was 15 I needed ECMO while was in the PICU waiting on a lung transplant
1:18
2:05 a bedside ECMO specialist is with the patient 24 hours a day to insure everything functions properly
This machine saved my life in 2016 I thank god for this machine
Thanks for this video........
Wow this is amazing technology! My mind is blown right now!
Saved my life when I OD’d back in early November
God has a plan for you. Take care!
Nice tech.
why my patient was requiered with more than 20 blood units when he was conected to ecmo? is this necessary ? or some bad practical?
Ecmo saved my sons life ❤
Just saved my cousins life ❤❤❤

I come here because of the current pandemic.
sabunkompas Stay safe
A good portion of our patients are on ECMO machines
Does the tubing need to be primed with donor blood?
No, It is primed with normal fluids
Hello from RIPAS 😢
Where does the CO2 go after removal from the blood?
That’s a good question.
My mom passed away recently, she was on ECMO 4-5 weeks but didnt make it.
R.I.P mom
Very sorry for your loss. May you find peace.
I’m so sorry.
Only 6 patients simultaneously?
It's a pretty intense treatment with expensive equipment. :(
My father is in ecmo currently
Shawn Roy hope he doing better now
How is he now ?
this mashine save life my father. he had viral lung disease. It was 8 days on this mashine and the lungs are cured. Good luck and God bless you
batonbeauty Hello. There are parameters like oxygenation index and ventilator parameters to decide the need. Hope your relative is doing well
My syster just got connected to Ecmo. I hope your father is doing well.
i'm here because of Covid
Whether It can be replace for dialysis??
no, either lungs or heart. this machine supplies oxygen to the blood. the two organs that do that are lungs then heart.
Dialysis is for non functional kidney. Dialysis help remove toxins from blood 🩸
This technology is incredible but they definitely should have found a more genuine sounding narrator.
When on the machine, is that heart not beating at all?
My husband is on ecmo, and I wondered the same thing. There's 2 different ecmo machines. My husband's heart is beating.
Yes the heart still beats 💓 the electrical signals in the heart keep it going and don't need to be stopped. The ecmo is just giving the heart extra help.
Drager ventilator 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
lol just 6 patients, not enough capacity for a pandemic situation
ECMO is for the most critical situations. Very few covid patients will require ECMO. It is a specialized field that requires 24/7 monitoring.
