Characteristics of Bleeding Complications in Patients with Severe COVID-19 Requiring Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Complications during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) are associated with in-hospital mortality. Asian patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have higher risks of bleeding and in-hospital mortality than Caucasian patients. This study aimed to characterize and identify bleeding complications and their associated factors related to in-hospital mortality in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring VV-ECMO in Japan.In this retrospective observational analysis, the prospective nationwide multicenter registry was used to track real-time information from intensive care units throughout Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. VV-ECMO patients' registry data between February 1, 2020 and October 31, 2022 were used.This study included 441
