Expert Care at Lifecare Saves a Critical ARDS Patient Without ECMO W hen the 57-year-old Bhandari Shovakhar was brought to Lifecare Hospital in Musaffah, he had been fighting a life- threatening situation. He had severe bilateral pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, accompanied by septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), dangerously low oxygen levels (P/F ratio of 86), high carbon dioxide in blood, and multi-organ failure. He needed ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), often a last-resort treatment for severe ARDS. His critical state made the transfer for ECMO impossible.
