Update on Extracorporeal Oxygenation in Adults
The usefulness of managing adult patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and hypoxemia by means of systems using extracorporeal oxygenation has been questioned. A National Institutes of Health multicentre study, published in 1979, reported survival rates of 9.5% and 8.3% in extracor...
