Excerpt

In an article recently published in Intensive Care Medicine, Karagiannidis et al. analyze data from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Statistisches Bundesamt, Wiesbaden, Germany) on the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in venovenous (vv) and venoarterial (va) mode in Germany [1] regarding the demographic of the treated population, the incidence and mode of ECMO use, and the outcomes for the period between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2014. This editorial focuses on aspects of ECMO in the vv mode. …
