Adding prone positioning therapy to ECMO patients is recommended by the guidelines for adult respiratory failure from the extracorporeal life support organization if radiological imaging shows posterior consolidation of the lung fields [8] . As ECMO blood flow could be reduced and, therefore, resulted in less inflow pressure problems and less dependency on the patients' position, we began to establish a regimen of intermittent prone positioning therapy to improve alveolar recruitment of the posterior consolidated lung fields and, therefore, pulmonary capacity (Fig. 3) .
