In this episode, we take a deep dive into the realm of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO has become a very common support for COVID-19 patients, and Michael and I explore the reasoning behind that option. We discuss how ECMO should be administered, how doctors determine when to put patients on ECMO, and how it is impacting COVID-19 outcomes.
