Outcomes of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to COVID-19, lessons learned from the first wave of COVID 19
Abstract:Introduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used
as a refractory treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
due to COVID-19, but there has been little evidence of its efficacy. We

recovery for ARDS due to COVID-19. Methods: All adult patients who were
placed on ECMO for ARDS due to COVID -19 between April 2020 and June
2020 (during the first wave of COVID-19) were identified. The clinical
