| Core Tip |
We present two cases of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The first, a full-term pregnant woman, was discharged with child loss but in good health, and the second, an elderly man, remains on ventilation support and may require lung transplantation. ECMO provided sufficient support for these COVID-19 patients with severe respiratory failure; however, both experienced several complications during the ECMO therapy, including right ventricular dysfunction, bleeding, thrombosis, acute renal failure, respiratory muscle weakness, and suspected pulmonary fibrosis. More case studies are needed to determine the optimal ECMO management strategy for COVID-19 patients. |
