Secondary Infections in Patients with Extremely Severe COVID-19 During ECMO Therapy by S. S. Andreev, M. V. Ketskalo, P. O. Narusova, M. A. Lysenko

“…In patients undergoing ECMO for more than 14 days, the microbiological landscape becomes extremely diverse, which hampers choosing an empirical antimicrobial therapy. Since potential pathogens causing secondary infections in patients during ECMO are difficult to predict, rapid identification of rare opportunistic pathogens and their sensitivity profile, followed by targeted administration of antimicrobials, seems most beneficial.…”
