Article Synopsis
- In March 2020, the Southern California ECMO Consortium was established to manage extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) resources effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic among the four ECMO centers in San Diego County.
- Guidelines were created to ensure equitable access to ECMO while maximizing community benefit, and ongoing coordination was maintained through weekly video conferences for data sharing and clinical discussions.
- From March to November 2020, the consortium successfully placed 97 patients on ECMO without denying any eligible patient access due to resource limitations, highlighting a potential model for other regions to follow.
