Effect of increasing mean arterial blood pressure on microcirculation in patients with cardiogenic shock supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

摘要

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the effect of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) augmentation on the microcirculation in cardiogenic-shock patients with peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We investigated the effect of increasing MAP on the microcirculation in cardiogenic-shock patients with ECMO support.
