During an extreme cardiac episode, emergency doctors at Sharp Memorial Hospital used Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) to keep OBGYN Maia Uli, DO, alive. Years later, one of her maternity patients would experience cardiac arrest during childbirth. Could Sharp ECMO be the life-saving answer?
ECMO machines remove blood from the body, oxygenate it and put it back into the body. Sharp is the first hospital to use ECMO in patients with cardiac arrest. When CPR, shocks and breathing tubes fail, Sharp’s ECMO Response Team jumps into action, giving doctors the precious time needed to implement life-saving therapies.
When Dr. Uli’s patient Alyssa has an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns, both her life and her baby’s are threatened. Could the same advanced treatment that saved Dr. Uli save her patients’ lives?
