All patients survived transport, although one patient (2.6%) had a mechanical complication. Other complications recorded during ECMO support included infection in 53.8%, major bleeding in 23.1%, and pneumothorax in 5.1%. Overall survival to discharge was 69.2%. COVID-19 patients had a significantly lower discharge survival than non-COVID-19 patients (42.9% vs. 81.8%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.029)\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ECMO transport can be safely implemented in low-resource settings, achieving outcomes comparable to in-house ECMO support.
