Role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in critically Ill COVID-19 patients and predictors of mortality

Rashad Zayat et al.

Summary: The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing critically ill COVID-19 patients is still unclear. This study of 17 COVID-19 patients treated with ECMO found that IL-6, NT-proBNP, and the RESP score were significant independent predictors of survival. A prediction model incorporating these factors showed improved outcome predictions compared to using the RESP score alone.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for COVID-19: evolving outcomes from the international Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry

Ryan P. Barbaro et al.

Summary: The study examined the use of ECMO for COVID-19 patients during 2020 globally, showing lower in-hospital mortality rates in early-adopting ECMO centres and higher rates in late-adopting centres.

Multi-institutional Analysis of 100 Consecutive Patients with COVID-19 and Severe Pulmonary Compromise Treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Outcomes and Trends Over Time

Jeffrey P. Jacobs et al.

Summary: The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing critically ill patients with COVID-19 is evolving. A study reviewed the clinical experience of 100 COVID-19 patients supported with ECMO at 20 hospitals, finding that survivors tended to be younger. Substantial variation exists in drug treatments for COVID-19, but ECMO provides a reasonable rescue strategy.
