Abstract: High volume ECMO centers have developed mobile ECMO programs in recent years to facilitate implementation of ECMO support at hospitals with lower capabilities, and transfer these patients for further care. We report a case of mobile ECMO on patient with COVID-19 related ARDS, and discuss the potential application in current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
