ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is still around, and in the most severe cases can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome. When mechanical ventilation fails to improve oxygenation, we desperately shift our management to venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO). In this opinion article, we discuss which patients are the most suitable to select for this technique, reiterate previous observations in acute respiratory distress syndrome, and the options for the patients judged not fitting for ECMO.
