Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was a cataclysmic event that infected over 772 million and killed over 6.9 million people worldwide. The pandemic pushed hospitals and society to their limits and resulted in incredibly severe respiratory disease in millions of people. This severe respiratory disease often necessitated maximum medical therapy, including the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. While our understanding of COVID-19 and its treatment continue to evolve, we review the current evidence to guide the care of patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
