00:01Noor Amira Sofya was looking forward to a quiet Friday evening until she struggled to breathe and felt unusually tired.
00:10Seven months pregnant, the 21-year-old refused to take any chances and headed to Teluk Intan Hospital.
00:17Her condition initially improved, but she later developed a fever and struggled to breathe again.
00:23Then came the worrying news. She had tested positive for influenza A.
00:28As her blood pressure kept dropping, doctors rushed her to the intensive care unit.
00:34The next day, she went into labor.
00:37Although her baby was delivered safely through an emergency caesarean section, Amira's condition only worsened.
00:44An echocardiogram revealed that her heart was functioning at only about 20%.
00:49Recognizing the severity of her condition, she was referred to Institute Jantunggara,
00:54where doctors saved her life by initiating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
00:59Due to her weakened heart, Amira also developed complications such as liver and kidney failure.
01:26Initial treatment showed no improvement and after thoroughly assessing her condition,
01:32IGN decided to initiate ECMO.
01:36Extracorporeal itu bermaksud pengaliran darah di luar daripada badan.
01:41So, what the machine helps is that kita akan ambil darah daripada badan.
01:49Darah itu akan masuk ke mesin ECMO di mana darah itu boleh diberikan oksigen.
01:56At the same time, carbon dioxide dalam darah dapat dikeluarkan melalui mesin.
02:03Dan darah itu dapat dialirkan kembali masuk ke dalam badan pesakit.
02:09So, what it provides adalah bantuan daripada segi mengekalkan kandungan oksigen
02:15ke tahap yang selamat dan baik dan juga at the same time
02:20memastikan pengaliran darah dalam badan juga pada satu tahap yang baik.
02:25Jadi, bila ECMO dapat melaksanakan tujuan tersebut,
02:30organ seperti paru-paru dan jantung dapat berehat.
02:35Committed to giving Amira the best chance of survival,
02:38IGN's ECMO team worked closely together.
02:42ECMO, perawatan lain macam Transclan, LBED, is teamwork.
02:47It's not just surgical anesthesiology, intensive cardiology.
02:52It's a combination of multi-discipline decision.
02:57Amira remained on ECMO for 11 days,
03:00closely monitored every step of the way.
03:02Thankfully, the procedure was successful
03:04and she has since been discharged.
03:07Today, she's on the road to recovery
03:09and enjoying precious time with her baby.
03:12Menang-menang berterima kasihlah sebab life getting better.
03:21Lepas tu, sebahagianlah, baby boy okey, saya pun makin okey.
03:29Memang terima kasih banyak-banyaklah.
03:32Dan tak dapat diukar dengan kata-katalah.
03:35Lepas tu transfer pula ke ward pun masih dalam bilik yang satu.
03:39Jadi, sepanjang berada di sini ini memang syukurlah
03:47dengan perkhidmatan yang diberi.
03:51Memang berpuas hati sangat-sangat.
03:53Take charge of your heart health
