New evidence sheds light on best practices for treating patients with severe respiratory failure from COVID-19
Findings suggest ECMO life-support therapy can improve odds of survival for patients critically ill with COVID-19
BOSTON – COVID-19 has caused more than 2 million deaths worldwide since the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic in March 2020. Patients with severe COVID-19 frequently experience respiratory distress and require assistance breathing.
