VAV ECMO is a feasible rescue strategy for a small proportion of patients with combined respiratory and cardiac failure secondary to septic shock with septic cardiomyopathy. We provide a detailed report of our experience with this technique. Further research is required comparing the different extracorporeal strategies directly to conventional resuscitation and against each other.
