MECHANICAL VENTILATION DURING EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE SEVERE RESPIRATORY FAILURE

Mechanical Ventilation during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients with Acute Severe Respiratory Failure

Conventionally, a substantial number of patients with acute respiratory failure require mechanical ventilation (MV) to avert catastrophe of hypoxemia and hypercapnia.However, mechanical ventilation per se can cause lung injury, accelerating the disease han progression.Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides an alternative to rescue pati
