We would like to invite participation in a study on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the results of which will hopefully be of use in the response to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
A protocol for the study is here. If you would like to be involved in the study please add your name to the table on the first page and add any comments you might have to protocol.
A study repo has been started here. For data partners who would like to participate, please can you run the cohorts detailed here and let me know what your numbers look like by email (edward.burn@ndorms.ox.ac.uk).
I would also like to set up a TC later in the week to discuss progress and have set up a doodle poll here with some potential times, please do add your availability.
Do you think it will be possible to distinguish between VV and VA ECMO? (since they generally have different indications and in the context of COVID, there is some question of whether we should be using VA preferentially)
Also, do we want to recruit some cardiologists for this study? I can reach out to some folks here at Columbia if more domain expertise might be helpful
