The impact of reduction in intensity of mechanical ventilation upon venovenous ECMO initiation on radiographically assessed lung edema scores: A retrospective observational study

The impact of reduction in intensity of mechanical ventilation upon venovenous ECMO initiation on radiographically assessed lung edema scores: A retrospective observational study

BackgroundPatients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) typically receive ultra-protective ventilation after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is initiated. While the benefit of ECMO appears to derive from supporting “lung rest”, reductions in the intensity of mechanical v...
