ECMO is a good treatment, but I don't they have enough of those to meet the demand.

Beats the hell out of ventilators, tho. Fuck being on one of those.

ECMO is for when you are to far gone for a ventilator to help anymore.

Vents don't help a very high percentage.

The lawsuits are comin'. It'll be THE cottage industry for the next 2 decades. Gonna make Mesothelioma look like Sunday school.

Well you aren't getting ECMO without going on a vent first. Then ECMO has a 40% mortality rate according to the article.

So if you go on a vent you're probably fucked, then if you move onto ECMO you're probably fucked.
