Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has already become a global pandemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Previous evidence from similar patient populations proved that carefully selected patients with severe ARDS who did not benefit from conventional treatment might be successfully supported with Veno-Venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). We now share the case reports of COVID-19 patients with ECMO combined prone position strategies.
Keywords: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); prone position; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
