Background: We analyzed bleeding and thrombotic complications in COVID-19-associated ARDS requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Methods: This was a single-center observational study of adult subjects undergoing ECMO for COVID-19 ( = 67) or all other cause of ARDS ( = 60), excluding trauma patients.
Results: In the COVID-19 group, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation prior to ECMO was lower (2 [0-4] d vs 3 [1-6] d) and ECMO retrieval less frequent (71% vs 87%).
