    • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome: a narrative review
    Authors: Francesco, Alessandri; Matteo Di, Nardo; Kollengode, Ramanathan;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    A growing body of evidence supports the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) refractory to maximal medical therapy. ARDS may develop in a proportion of patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and ECMO may be used to manage patients refractory to maximal medical therapy to mitigate the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury and provide lung rest while awaiting recovery. The mortality of COVID-19-related ARDS was variously reassessed during the pandemic.
