Because of severe persistent hypoxemia, the patient was intubated for invasive mechanical ventilation; however, due to progressive hypoxemia, the VV-ECMO was applied 2 days later, and oxygen saturation increased to 96%. The chest X-ray imaging of patients at first day of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation starting intubated due to severe ARDS. Hypercoagulability state and oxygenator failure were the most important etiologies for VV-ECMO failure in COVID-19 patients with severe ARDS in our study.
