ECMO with vasopressor use during early endotoxic shock: Can it improve circulatory support and regional microcirculatory blood flow?

ECMO support and concurrent vasopressor use improve regional blood flow and oxygen delivery even in the absence of full blood pressure restoration. Vasopressor-induced selective distribution of blood flow to vital organs is retained when vasopressors are administered with ECMO.
