Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: guia breu d'actuació enfront de casos d'infecció pel SARS-CoV-2 en pacients amb síndrome de destret respiratori agut (SDRA) i requeriments d'ECMO
Abstract
WHO provisional guidelines recommend the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (SDRA) related to new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The available evidence from similar patients suggests that patients with severe ARDS who do not improve with conventional treatment, including pronation, may benefit from ECMO-VV therapy. The goal is to ensure that critical patients are relocated and safely to a center with a well-structured and well-established ECMO program.
