Hemodynamic Improvement in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients After Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Implantation

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Observational study

Authors' conclusion

In the first 2 hours after VV ECMO implantation, hemodynamic improvement was observed in the majority of ARDS patients.
