Prone Position During ECMO in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Hypoxaemic Patient

The main objective of the current study was to investigate the change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio, the compliance of the respiratory system in VV-ECMO patients with persistent hypoxemia. Measurements were taken before PP, 1 h after the start of the PP, at the end of the PP cycle. The secondary objective of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of emergency positioning for patients with severe ARDS during ECMO treatment.
