ECMO in the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Almost all pregnant or postpartum patients are likely going to meet cannulation criteria for ECMO. Sepsis accounted for 9.7% of worldwide maternal deaths in 2013. If a patient is coming to the ICU in septic shock, I will typically broaden them to our usual vanxosin and carbapenum. There's really no vasopressor that's sort of off-limits with pregnant patients.
