Factors Associated with Outcomes of Patients with Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Background: The World Health Organization recommends extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a therapeutic option for the most critical cases of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, data on universally agreed-upon risk factors that contribute to ECMO weaning failure and mortality in COVID-19 patients undergoing ECMO are limited. This lack of consensus leads to significant uncertainties in developing effective management strategies for these patients. We aimed to identify the factors associated with early outcomes after ECMO support in patients with COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome, specifically the success rate of ECMO weaning and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We reviewed 25 patients with COVID-19 who received ECMO support at a sing
