An unhooked man is fighting for his life

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is sometimes called “last resort therapy”. It is a kind of prosthesis that replaces the work of the lungs and / or the heart. It is a technique of extracorporeal blood oxygenation and elimination of carbon dioxide from it.
The cost of COVID-19 treatment in an unvaccinated patient may reach one million zlotys
According to “Wyborcza”, the cost of connecting the patient to the apparatus alone amounts to PLN 50. zloty. The cost of monthly treatment with ECMO can reach up to one million zlotys. This is also the cost of treating a 41-year-old. Doctors say, however, that it is not about money.
Doctors emphasize that they are tired and frustrated with the situation in hospitals. They point out that they would rather treat patients with cancer and other chronic diseases than seriously ill patients infected with coronavirus who chose not to get vaccinated.
