  Figure 1. Change in cardiothoracic ratios. The cardiothoracic ratios decreased after VA-ECMO application. (A) At admission. (B) On high-flow nasal cannula (hospital day [HD] 8). (C) Just before intubation (HD 9). (D) Ten hours on VA-ECMO (HD 10). (E) Three days on VA-ECMO (HD 12). (F) Five days on VA-ECMO (just before ECMO weaning; HD 14). VA-ECMO: veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
