[Update and Comment on the German S3 "Clinical Guideline for Treating Acute Respiratory Insufficiency with Invasive Ventilation and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Evidence-Based Recommendations"].

This article highlights emerging data and new concepts which were introduced since 2017. Among others it summarizes the current progress made in evidence-based recommendations of mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In detail, the new evidence for treating severe ARDS with ECMO, phenotyping of ARDS, early neuromuscular blockade and the application of non-invasive ventilation and high-flow oxygen therapy are discussed.
