- Abstract
The authors discuss a retrospective observational study to compare outcomes of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) according to the use of prone positioning (PP). Findings showed that patients with severe ARDS who underwent PP ECMO were more likely to be weaned from ECMO. They claim that findings from the study warrant justification for further clinical trials on the value of PP in ECMO.
