Risk of COVID‐19 infection among mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation team
<h3>Background and Aim</h3><p dir="ltr">The transport of coronavirus‐2019 (COVID‐19) patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a challenging situation, especially for healthcare workers (HCWs), due to the risk of cross‐infection. Hence, certain precautions...
