Outcomes of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Caused by COVID-19 Versus Influenza [1]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be effective for refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with influenza, but its utility in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is uncertain. We compared outcomes of patients with refractory ARDS from COVID-19 and influenza placed on ECMO.
