Kuwaiti Hospital Successfully Utilizes Ecmo Technology In Children's Covid-19 Treatment
Al-Adan Hospital announced, on Thursday, that it had successfully utilized Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of children affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Head of Al-Ahmadi medical district Dr. Ahmad Al-Shatti affirmed to KUNA that treatment for COVID-19 using ECMO technology was rare.
The staff at Al-Adan hospital managed to succeed in utilizing ECMO under the supervision and support of the Ministry of Health, he added.
In regards to the case, Dr. Al-Shatti indicated that an eight-year-old girl — suffering from acute lung infection — received treatment using ECMO for about two weeks.
The girl survived her ordeal and was shifted back to the ICU dedicated to children, he said, mentioning that there will be discussions on expanding the use of ECMO to include more cases (KUNA)
