Abstract：For patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VV-ECMO)can drain blood from the venous system through a gas exchange device and then return to the venous system,thereby promoting oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal in ARDS patients,and allowing the natural lung to achieve"lung rest"during this period.However,there is still a lack of consensus on the optimal ventilator setting during VV-ECMO in the treatment of severe ARDS.In recent years,lung protective ventilation has been widely used,and prone position ventilation and inhaled nitric oxide can also be used as options for the treatment of ARDS patients.The purpose of this review is to describe the application of VV-ECMO in ARDS patients and the ventilation strategy.
