Everyone knows / has heard about CPR.....
But do u know about E-CPR?
It is 10x form of CPR.
E-CPR is a form of CPR that can be used if a person has an arrest ( no pulse) in a hospital .
Doctors hook up a machine, called ECMO ( pronounced EKmo) (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation), through the patient's blood vessels that then takes care of the pt's oxygen needs/circulation.
It requires specialized machines and trained doctors. It is important for the patient's family to give permission for E-CPR early enough, else it may be too late to save the person.
This technology is not new and is even used in special ambulances abroad.
In India, it is slowly catching on. In a city line Mumbai, <10 hospitals offer this life saving technology.

It’s one Of the most meaningful thing we do - save lives.
But the current ‘system’ of residency/training and India in general is horrendous
Pure passion of few good men is whats keeping it afloat
Residency teaches you one harsh truth-
You don’t get to walk away. You have to go back. Back to the same person who scolded you, humiliated you, made you feel small. Because if you don’t, no one else will care. And the work still needs to be done.
