Application of the technology in the department

The technology of ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is a new technique to save lives in critical condition due to its unique efficacy on severe respiratory failure, and it is also called "Magic lung" in China.

ECMO is a modified artificial heart-lung machine with the core components of membrane lung (artificial lung) and blood pump (artificial heart), which can provide prolonged cardiopulmonary support for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure, gaining time for subsequent critical care treatment. ECMO is the most effective technique for severe cardiopulmonary failure, and is also known as a "life-saving tool" for critically ill patients. It is a top life support technology that represents the level of critical care in a hospital, a region, or even a country.


Introduction of the department

The Intensive Care Unit of the hospital has two ECMO systems and a high-level ECMO team, which has rich experience in treating patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. The team can provide the treatment for critically ill patients not only in the hospital, but also out of hospital to achieve cross-regional treatment.

In 2017, the ECMO team did the first successful case of VV-ECMO in Jiangmen, taking the treatment of critical care to a new level; in 2018, it performed the VA-ECMO for the first inter-hospital transfer patient in Jiangmen, bringing the young patient with cardiac arrest back to life. The team has received great support from the hospital leadership, Emergency Department, Cardiology Department, Thoracic Surgery Department, Vascular Surgery Department and many other departments during the process of its growth, which they appreciate a lot.
