The outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) quickly developed into a worldwide pandemic with more than 40 million people infected and more than 1 million dead as of October 17, 2020. Numerous patient reports COVID-19 can lead to acute respiratory failure requiring intensive care (ICU) and ventilators, and it can rapidly evolve into a certificate of acute respiratory failure (ARDS) with red oxygen in the heavy and death, despite the protective ventilator, even both. International organizations and experts in the field recommend ECMO for critically ill ARDS patients with COVID-19. However, survival is very low in the ECMO - corrected case series with COVID-19 during the first COVID-19 wave. Our study aimed to evaluate the results of the initial application of transmembrane oxygenation (ECMO) technique in the support of critical acute respiratory distress syndrome on COVID-19 patients at the hospital resuscitation center of Hue central hospital.
