Dear friends,

Happy to share… Bankers Heart Institute Saves Young Mother’s Life with Breakthrough ECMO Treatment

Bankers Heart Institute achieved a significant medical marvel by saving a critically ill 34-year-old woman with severe viral pneumonia. Her oxygen saturation levels plummeted to 70%, and her lung damage exceeded 95%, necessitating immediate 100% ventilation.

Recognizing the urgency, we deployed ECMO (Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation), the latest in medical technology, available in-house exclusively in Vadodara at Bankers Heart Institute. Dr. Darshan Banker and ICU doctors made the crucial decision to place the patient on prolonged heart-lung machine support—ECMO—which was her only hope for survival.

ECMO acts as an artificial lung support, bypassing damaged lungs to allow them time to heal. After 8 days of ECMO support, the patient’s lungs began to recover, and she was weaned off the machine. Today, she enjoys a normal life without oxygen support—a true testament to teamwork, dedication, and advanced medical care. The patient was discharged without any complications and is now able to perform her routine activities.

Dear friends, thank you for your unconditional support and encouragement.

Jai Hind.
