The Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) hospital celebrated a milestone achievement as it performed the first neonatal Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) on a two-month-old recently.

The baby, born at a private nursing home in the city, was diagnosed with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) immediately after birth. The baby was then rushed to KIMS Hospital in a critical condition where the doctors decided to perform ECMO procedure, a technique providing support to patients whose heart and lungs are unable to function normally. He was on ECMO support for close around two weeks and was discharged from the hospital almost after one month.

Managing director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at KIMS Dr Bhaskar Rao expressed his utmost content as he commented, “We were fully confident in treating the baby as our expertise in this field has tremendously enhanced over time.

We take extreme pride in successfully rolling out our thirty-third ECMO procedure which is also a significant breakthrough in the medical field of the twin states.”
