Article Synopsis
- The study investigates in-hospital mortality and post-discharge outcomes for patients with COVID-19 who received ECMO during the pandemic's first wave (March 1 - Sept 13, 2020).
- Conducted by the European Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, it included 1215 patients from 21 countries and focused on various patient-related factors affecting survival rates.
- Findings revealed a 50% in-hospital mortality rate, with factors like age, pre-ECMO complications, and delays in ECMO initiation linked to higher mortality.
