Introduction
Beginning December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally now
with over three million cases worldwide1. While many
patients are adequately supported by mechanical ventilation, there
exists no consensus for ECMO, with some concern it may worsen the
illness2. Despite anecdotal evidence, data is limited
and patient details remain sparse3. We describe our
experience recovering a COVID positive patient with VV ECMO and the
unique difficulties of the clinical course.
