Survival rates of children with sepsis needing ECMO was 59%. Neonates had higher survival rates (73%); gram positive organisms accounted for most common infections in children needing ECMO. Despite limitations, pooled survival data from this review indicates consideration of ECMO in refractory septic shock for all pediatric age groups.
