Deskripsi
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is indispensable for critically severe COVID‐19 patients. However, it would be inapplicable to patients with a rare blood type or blood transfusion refusal. In that case, severely conservative fluid management with the sacrifice of renal functions and hydrocortisone therapy should be considered for better oxygenation.
