Length of Pre-ECMO Mechanical Ventilation Is Not Associated With Mortality in Patients With COVID-19

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presenter, Chengda, shares findings from their study on COVID-19 critical care patients. They examined whether the length of pre-ECMO mechanical ventilation is associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients. The study included 593 patients from 107 study sites in 25 countries. They found that the number of days on mechanical ventilation prior to ECMO initiation was not associated with hospital mortality. The only factors that significantly predicted death were gender (being male) and older age. The study has limitations, including the inability to track ventilator settings before and after ECMO initiation. Further research is needed to evaluate these factors.
