Excerpt

The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is still associated with high mortality [1], despite application of recent guidelines [2, 3]. The EOLIA study suggested that Extra- Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) could be effective in some of the most severe patients, but failed to demonstrate a 20% increase in survival [4]. One reason could be that criteria for selecting patients were only based on blood gas analysis. Our hypothesis is that adding other factors could allow a better selection of patients who could benefit from ECMO. …
