In-bed cycling with a femoro-femoral VV-ECMO patient. Fighting against acquired weakness. Everything is possible with team effort and participation.
This is only possible with a perfectly trained multidisciplinary ECMO team. Benefit is clear. But also the associated risks of the maneuver. So: anticipate, be cautious, be patient. Treat the patient, not the machine.
