ECMO successfully stabilized respiratory function in 10 out of 15 patients with severe pulmonary haemorrhage.
Among the patients, 5 died, indicating a mortality rate of 33.33% despite ECMO intervention.
Anticoagulation was selectively administered; two patients received no anticoagulation due to fulminant bleeding.
The median duration of ECMO therapy was reported as 15 days, highlighting the treatment's intrusiveness.
