Doctors supervised the 13-month-old case via telemedicine
Riyadh: Saudi Health revealed that the life of a 13-month-old baby boy was saved after suffering severe shortness of breath and was evacuated to a hospital in Riyadh.
The Medical Referral Center hotline received a call on Wednesday, August 9, from a hospital in Jeddah (western Saudi Arabia) to request a remote medical consultation with the advisory team specialized in the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation service ECMO, for the condition of an infant diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The infant was taken to the ICU, but his condition deteriorated.
