Despite aggressive care, patients with cardiopulmonary failure and COVID-19 experience unacceptably high mortality rates. The use of mechanical circulatory support devices in this population offers potential benefits but confers significant morbidity and novel challenges for the clinician. Thoughtful application of this complex technology is of the utmost importance and should be done in a multidisciplinary fashion by teams familiar with mechanical support devices and aware of the particular challenges provided by this complex patient population.
尽管采取了积极的治疗措施,患有心肺衰竭和 COVID-19 的患者仍面临着不可接受的高死亡率。在这类人群中使用机械循环支持设备具有潜在的益处,但也会带来显著的发病率和新的临床挑战。因此,慎重应用这一复杂技术至关重要,应由熟悉机械支持设备且了解此类复杂患者群体特殊挑战的多学科团队以多学科的方式来实施。
