Extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) is a well-established therapy for respiratory failure. Refractory hypoxemia, despite the use of ECMO, remains a challenging problem. The ECMO circuit may not provide enough oxygenation support in the presence of high cardiac output, increased physiologic demand, and impaired gas exchange. Adding a second ECMO oxygenator using the same pump (sometimes needing a second drainage cannula) can improve oxygenation and facilitate lung-protective ventilation in selected patients. We describe a 3-patient series with severe ARDS secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection and refractory hypoxemia during ECMO support successfully treated with this approach.
