  1. Studies on awake ECMO as a bridge to lung transplantation reporting at least five patients are presented in chronological order of publication. “Successful bridge” defines the number of patients bridged with “awake ECMO” to lung transplantation without the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation
  2. AV arterio-venous, NA not available, PA-LA pulmonary artery-left atrium, RA-Ao right atrium-ascending aorta, VA veno-arterial, VV veno-venous
