Yep. I remember watching the vlog of an ICU nurse early on in the pandemic. She was describing how patients would go from treatment to treatment either failing to respond or the response not being enough. Eventually it'd be supplemental oxygen, then the ventilator, then the ECMO, and finally they'd just drown in blood. Who knows how likely that is for him because all the medical data we have is bullshit, but that's the natural course of it.
Are there any case studies on ECMO for covid?

Christ. Even in end-stage CV patients WITHOUT an infectious virus the benefit to using one is nil without highly trained md/rn/therapy staff on floor
