Boston, MA (April 30, 2021) - A new study, presented today at the AATS 101st Annual Meeting, found that severely ill COVID-19 patients treated with ECMO did not suffer worse long-term outcomes than other mechanically-ventilated patients. The multidisciplinary team included cardio thoracic surgeons, critical care doctors, medical staff at long-term care facilities, physical therapists and other specialists, and followed patients at five academic centers: University of Colorado; University of Virginia; University of Kentucky; Johns Hopkins University; and Vanderbilt University.

While they currently lack an elite top-25 talent, this wave of Los Angeles Dodgers top prospects is highly-talented with incredible depth in the field and on the mound.

BACKGROUND
After spending three years as a starter at Mississippi State University, the Orioles selected Westburg with the first Competitive Balance A pick of last June’s draft (30th overall).
