Having been in the field myself, for a time, I would attempt to reduce it down to something more easily definable. This is the ‘primary source’ stuff that I claim. Just make it simple. I try.
The more recent tactics have been to resort to (ECMO) Extra Corporal Membrane Oxygenation. This has for years been considered to be a very high risk therapy. It has been largely used for infants and only in recent years really been introduced to adult populations. It is dangerous yet for many, the only prospect for survival. They have been using it a ton for these so-called Covid 19 Patients who actually have very little chance for even short term survival. Largely because they have pre-existing conditions which the Covid has resulted in exacerbating. Nobody gets Covid and dies unless they were already sick. That is a fact that I am witness to.
It, ECMO, is similar to dialysis for the pulmonary system. The venous blood is routed around the lungs and re-oxygenated before being returned to the arterial system to be be circulated back into the capillaries necessary for metabolism to continue, insuring the continuation of life.
I have met many Researchers over several years. They love this geeky stuff. Dazzle them with scientific double talk and stifle all comment.
Truth is, nobody is going to read all of that. I certainly did not nor would I.

My post #1 was meant to let people know this was just to save research, not set forth for them to read. I planned to reference it elsewhere on FR and didnt’ want it gone. That is what I meant by post #1.
I will be more specific next time to add that it is for use in discussions elsewhere on FR and will not likely interest those not already aware of the issue.
When I read FR, if the title doesn’t interest me, if it’s a wall of text, if it’s too technical, I go back to the forum to find something else of interest. It wouldn’t occur to me to warn others that it’s of no interest to anyone or not understandable to anyone.
The context of this post is in #23. I assumed that if I posted it in #1 or at the top of the thread, some would consider it part of a debate I hoped to start on the forum when in fact I just didn’t want it to go away forever (deleted off Pubmed).
I could have posted it out on FR in the back 40 as a post, but then the title would not be searchable.
Thank you for taking the time to add your expertise to assist FReepers in understanding the content. Much appreciated.
