Sumario:The new coronavirus disease, in which 100,000 of people are infected in the world, appears in tables ranging from asymptomatic course to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is one of the salvage treatments applied in intubated patients due to high mortality. However, since ECMO treatment is a complicated treatment, the gain loss rate should be determined well. We aimed to share two cases that we applied ECMO treatment in our clinic. Although we could not achieve a successful result, we believe that new experiences should be shared in order to better understand the place of ECMO in coronavirus disease 2019 treatment.
