Safdarjung only govt hospital in Delhi giving ECMO therapy to Covid-19 patients

Hindustan Times  

Safdarjung Hospital is the only government-run facility in Delhi to offer ECMO as the last resort treatment for Covid-19 patients with severely damaged lungs. The patients offered ECMO treatment at Safdarjung hospital were critical and died of other complications. The first one admitted last year died of a heart attack three days after being put on ECMO and the second patient, a woman under 40 years of age, admitted during the second Covid wave this year, died after 18 to 19 days of treatment due to sepsis or blood infection. New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences also has ECMO treatment facility but the institute did not use it on Covid-19 patients due to chances of survival being very low.
