Excerpt

The treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 requiring support with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) is particularly challenging from a medical point of view and consumes a tremendous amount of human, physical, and financial resources. Recommendations for initiation of vv-ECMO in COVID-19 are being developed, though under continuous review [1, 2]. However, despite all therapeutic efforts, these critically ill patients have a high mortality rate according to studies published so far [3, 4]. …
