Elevated Nosocomial Infection Rates in Patients with COVID-19 Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract

A retrospective cohort compared nosocomial infections for patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for influenza or COVID-19. COVID-19 was associated with more infections per 1000 patient days (37.3 vs. 17.7, p=0.04) and infections earlier in patients ECMO course (median [IQR] 5 days (3-7) vs. 16 (10-21), p=0.03) compared to influenza.
