For patients with severe SARS‐CoV‐2 pneumonia who require veno‐venous ECMO, the use of prone ventilation could be beneficial, and should be considered. Here, we report two cases in which the combination of veno-venous ECMO and prone ventilation was successful in treating SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. In order to address these concerns, we assigned qualified personnel to manage the connection between the intubation tube and the ventilator and the blood drainage and return cannulas in veno-venous ECMO when patients were shifted from the spine to prone position. In conclusion, the combination therapy of veno-venous ECMO and prone ventilation is possible in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia without any complication.	./cache/cord-284318-yhnpskb0.txt	./txt/cord-284318-yhnpskb0.txt
