ECMO Center

300+ ECMO runs with 70% survival.

ECMO — extracorporeal membrane oxygenation — takes over the work of the heart and lungs when they fail completely, buying time for the body to heal. It is one of the most demanding therapies in modern medicine, and Kainos runs one of North India's leading programmes: more than 250 ECMO runs with 70% survival.

The programme is led by Dr. Arvind Dahiya, ECMO-fellowship trained at University Hospitals of Leicester, UK, and has retrieved and treated patients from across the region, including severe poisoning cases that would not survive elsewhere.

What we offer

  • VA and VV ECMO for heart and lung failure
  • ECMO retrieval and transport
  • Celphos (aluminium phosphide) poisoning support
  • Post-cardiotomy ECMO
  • Family counselling through treatment
