About

The role of ECMO in the treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and/or acute refractory heart failure) is not yet known. The present study will aim to report the results of the ECMO management of the most severe forms of COVID-19 through the first French ECMO registry.

Full description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the hospital survival of COVID-19 patients supported by venovenous or venoarterial ECMO in a multicenter registry.

The secondary objectives are to describe the characteristics of COVID-19 patients who have received ECMO support, to identify the risk factors associated with hospital mortality, to analyze the outcomes after ECMO weaning including survival at day 28 and day 90, and to analyze the utility of a circulatory support mobile unit in a severe pandemic

Inclusions are both prospective and retrospective in order to collect data over the whole pandemic
