Summary

This study looks back at the medical records of 50 adult ICU patients with COVID-19 who needed a life-support machine called ECMO. The goal is to understand how often bleeding and dangerous blood clots happen, and how blood transfusions and blood thinners affect their care. The findings could help doctors make safer treatment decisions for these very sick patients.
