Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory septic shock in children: One institutionʼs experience*

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be safely used to resuscitate and support children with sepsis and refractory shock. Sepsis and multiorgan failure should not be considered a contraindication to ECMO. This study adds support to existing guidelines.
