Tamil Nadu: Prana playback singer SB Balasubramaniam is currently undergoing ECMO treatment, according to the hospital where he is being treated.
Earlier, the word 'ECMO treatment' had been coined by the Tamil Nadu program, which means it was talked about a lot when former chief minister Jayalalithaa was treated at the Apollo Hospital for health problems.
SB Balasubramaniam in Ecmo Treatment Why this treatment is given and how it works
Why this treatment
Treatment with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
That is, is ECMO treatment better than ventilator therapy? There will be the question of. Also, let’s look at the reason why this treatment is given.
This method is a device similar to an artificial lung. This device is usually fitted when the lungs are not functioning.
This tool has been in medical use since the 1970s. This tool will ensure that the heart and breathing are in balance.
Synthetic pump one
The lungs need to do the work of adding oxygen to the body. But when it goes inactive it causes a lack of oxygen.
Only then will this tool become more needed. For this, a small device called a catheter (like a pacemaker) is inserted into the central blood vessel near the heart. An artificial pump can pump blood into this device.

Dangerous condition
Before such blood can be transfused, it is passed through a device that mixes with oxygen. The body is then loaded with oxygen and blood flow is ensured.
It is used when the patient's life-threatening condition is caused by a respiratory disorder.
Blood pumping
The procedure for taking blood out of a device, such as a pump, and mixing it with oxygen and pumping it back through the central vein is called venous eczema.
This is an air exchange function only. The process by which blood is taken out through a vein and, again, into an artery is called a ventrodorsal ECMO.
Through these two activities, both the respiratory problem and the pumping problem will be solved and corrected.
