Editor’s summary
Retrospective analysis of three patients with severe malaria complicated by ARDS treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in two centres. It shows that ECMO can support gas exchange in severe malaria and can allow a more protective ventilation, a situation in which the use of ECMO had only been mentioned a few times before.
