They reported the mortality rate of COVID-19-induced ARDS requiring ECMO as 57.1%, which is similar to the 58.3% reported for outcomes (death or coma) in another case series (2) . They also described the timing of initiation and the initial settings of ECMO in patients with severe ARDS induced by COVID-19. Although early initiation is reported to be associated with good prognosis in adult ARDS patients (3), COVID-19 pneumonia is reported to present with features different from typical ARDS (4).
