Investigation of microcirculation in patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation life support

摘要

BackgroundMicrocirculatory dysfunction develops in both septic and cardiogenic shock patients, and it is associated with poor prognosis in patients with septic shock. Information on the association between microcirculatory dysfunction and prognosis in cardiogenic shock patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is limited.
