This is even more the case in up to 10% of SARS-Cov-2 ARDS patients who require venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) as an extracorporeal lung support [1] . Here, we describe the feasibility, safety, and diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to detect PE in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 ARDS requiring vv-ECMO. This case series of EBUS to diagnose PE in severe SARS-CoV-2 ARDS patients requiring vv-ECMO suggests that the EBUS procedure is safe and reliable to detect lobar and even segmental PE at bedside.
