(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat-

KIMS Oman Hospital's (KOH) expert medical team led by Dr Mohammed al Obeid consultant and head of emergency and critical care services has successfully performed a critical procedure and saved the life of a 41 year old Indian national patient who was transferred to KIMS Oman Hospital from a local hospital in Muscat in a critical health condition recently.

KIMS Oman Hospital admitted the transferred patient as an emergency case; the patient was intubated hypoxic and was placed on ventilator support soon after becoming hypotensive and his overall health deteriorated significantly. After a thorough examination that was conducted by Dr Obeid the patient was diagnosed with Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with septicaemia and life-threatening health issues.

Instantly the patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where a multidisciplinary team composed of Critical Care and Anaesthesia Team headed by Dr Manjeet Singh head of anaesthesia department assisted the patient who was managed aggressively with inotropes to maintain his blood pressure and was kept on ventilation and given the needed medications.

Miraculously the patient overcame the critical situation; he was ex-tubated after a week showing positive recovery and was completely discharged ten days later.

The patient expressed his utmost thankfulness for KOH's professional medical team for saving his life and for the extraordinary care he received during his stay at the hospital.

'A clear compassion up to date care and a collaborative team even the toughest odds can be beaten' said Dr Obeid.

'I am very happy that the patient has recovered and we have supported him until he restored his normal life and daily routine' said Dr Singh.

KIMS Oman Hospital is a modern 50-bed facility with ICU and NICU support. It has 24-hour emergency ambulance laboratory & pharmacy services along with a state-of-the-art MRI.

The hospital has fully equipped operating theatres with advanced equipment supported by luxury Inpatient room facilities.

The hospital recently achieved international accreditation from the Australian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS).
