Zusammenfassung:	BACKGROUND:Many believe obesity is associated with higher rates of mortality in the critically ill. The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and survival in patients receiving venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute hypoxic or hypercarbic respiratory failure. METHODS:All of the patients admitted to a dedicated VV ECMO unit were included. Patients
