Medical Team in Najran Saves the Life of a Corona Patient by Using ECMO Technology
A group of Saudi doctors succeeded in a surgical procedure for a corona patient. The surgery was made at King Khalid Hospital in Najran by using the technology of external corporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO.
The patient did not respond to the various treatments, and the patient reached a critical stage in the disease where lung functions are failing to accept any medications.
