    What is ECMO?

    ECMO stands for extracorporeal (that refers to outside the body) membrane oxygenation. For patients with life-threatening heart and lung issues, ECMO is the best method that temporarily takes over the functions of these two essential organs in the body when other life support measures have failed. The common types of ECMO include as follows:

    Veno-venous ECMO: People with lung failures are treated with venous-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO), which involves connecting one or more veins, usually close to the heart.

    Veno-arterial ECMO: A VA-ECMO that connects to a vein and an artery is used to treat patients with heart and lung failures.

    At Yashoda hospitals, our services are available 24×7 with the combined expertise of research, clinical expertise, and patient care streamlined to deliver the best critical care services for a variety of heart & lung conditions. The multidisciplinary team of paramedics, nurses, emergency physicians, trauma experts, surgeons, and doctors from various specialties provides the best care & helps patients restore their lung & heart health through ECMO procedures.

    How is ECMO done?

    The ECMO procedure involves inserting a cannula tube into an artery or vein via the neck, chest, or groin to draw blood from the body. These cannulas are then connected to the ECMO machine, which removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygenated blood back to the body.

    ECMO ensures high survival rates with its key feature of being a life-saving cardiac & respiratory support in critical conditions. Additionally, it allows continuous monitoring of blood flow and oxygenation levels for real-time adjustments, & so ECMO is believed to deliver the best possible outcomes, minimizing organ damage due to critical conditions.

    Benefits of ECMO:

    • Protection of two main organs, i.e., the heart & lungs, by taking their functions temporarily.
    • An effective technique employed in individuals who are about to undergo transplant acts as a bridge until they find a suitable donor.
    • Prevents cardiac complications & improves the chances of survival.
    • Minimizes the risk of organ (brain, kidney, liver) damage due to lack of oxygenation caused by lung or heart failures.
    • Enhanced quality of life.
    • Acts as a beneficial technique in newborns with cardiac or lung issues during their birth.

    Who needs ECMO:

     

    • People with severe lung failure, in conditions such as pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
    • People with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, & myocardial infarction.
    • In babies with congenital heart defects, to provide short-term support until they get stable enough for other interventions.
    • People looking for temporary stabilization if the heart fails to function properly even after a heart transplant

    The da Vinci Surgical System marks a new era in minimally invasive surgery, driven by cutting-edge robotic technology. At Yashoda Hospitals Institute of Robotic Sciences, this innovation is transforming surgical experiences globally. The system enhances precision by scaling, filtering, and translating surgeons’ commands into meticulous micro-instrument movements at the operative site.

    How does Da Vinci Xi work?

    This robotic equipment has four surgical arms, guiding the surgeon to perform surgery at high precision rates by providing a high 3D visualization of the areas through its camera. The surgeon is seated at the console, at the operating table,  to perform the surgery by controlling the arms. During this process, the robotic arms replicate the movements made by the surgeon, & they run the surgery with high-flexible arms capable of a wide range of motions as the surgeon’s hands find it difficult to make such moves inside the human body.

    With its comprehensive 360-degree view and magnified 3D visualization, Da Vinci Xi is designed to deliver the best possible treatment outcomes with high precision rates. Additionally, its precise movements lower the risk of complications and enhance patient safety.

    Benefits of Da Vinci Xi:

     

    • Minimally invasive, with less likelihood of scarring.
    • Shorter hospital stay with minimal pain.
    • An efficient procedure for old age patients with no much physical stress.
    • Minimal risk of complications such as blood loss during the surgery.
    • High precision rates due to cutting-edge technology.
    • Perfect visualization of the surgical area guides the surgeons for the best outcomes or successful treatments.

    Who needs the robotic Da Vinci Xi procedure?

    Individuals with certain conditions where the use of minimally invasive surgeries is a must to experience the journey of recovery safely with minimal pain.

     

    • An individual who has to undergo urological surgeries such as prostatectomy.
    • In individuals who have to undergo gynecological surgery such as fibroid removal surgery, the use of robotic Da Vinci Xi minimizes the complications.
    • Individuals who need their hernia repaired but with minimal pain & complications.
    • Individuals who have to undergo colorectal, gall bladder,& several other complex surgeries such as heart valve repair, etc.
    • Individuals who are at high surgical risk, such as obese or elderly patients, & the use of traditional methods is not so possible, can opt for robotic technology for ease & comfort.
