The patient was put on ECMO treatment, which is an intensive technique that helps maintain life artificially and supports both the heart and lung function temporarily until recovery occurs.

In this particular patient, there was very bad prognosis and very depressed heart functions. Early intervention with ECMO and coordinated treatment through multiple disciplines played a very important part in her recovery.”
