Patient education and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation preferences of patients and providers in COVID care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) represents an important but limited treatment for patients with severe COVID-19. We assessed the effects of an educational intervention on a person's ECMO care preference and examined whether patients and providers had similar ECMO preferences.
