Efficacy and economic assessment of conventional ventilatory support versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure (CESAR): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
The Lancet, 10/19/09

Peek J et al. – The authors recommend transferring of adult patients with severe but potentially reversible respiratory failure, whose Murray score exceeds 3·0 or who have a pH of less than 7·20 on optimum conventional management, to a centre with an ECMO–based management protocol to significantly improve survival without severe disability. This strategy is also likely to be cost effective in settings with similar services to those in the UK.
