    Snippet: Such ad-hoc ECMO systems might prove to have a life-saving potential if used as a lastresort option in patients who urgently need gas exchange support due to bilateral COVID pneumonia where conventional ventilation fails but a conventional ECMO device is not rapidly available, and might offer hope as primary therapy in life-threating lung failure where ventilators are no more available.

    Document: Such ad-hoc ECMO systems might prove to have a life-saving potential if used as a lastresort option in patients who urgently need gas exchange support due to bilateral COVID pneumonia where conventional ventilation fails but a conventional ECMO device is not rapidly available, and might offer hope as primary therapy in life-threating lung failure where ventilators are no more available. A patient benefit is improbable if the probability of outcome is anyway very good or very bad, or if standard ventilators and conventional ECMO devices are available that should be used preferentially. Experience in large-bore venous access and in handling blood pumps including ECMO and Impella is probably an important success factor for such an approach.
