Objectives: The role of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the treatment of severe pediatric septic shock continues to be intensely debated. Our objective was to determine whether the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in severe septic shock was associated with altered patient mortality, morbidity, and/or length of ICU and hospital stay when compared with conventional therapy. Design: International multicenter, retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected data of children admitted to intensive care with a diagnosis of severe septic shock between the years 2006 and 2014. Setting: Tertiary PICUs in Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States. Patients: Children greater than 30 days old and less than 18 years old. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Of 2,452 children with a diagnosis of sepsis or septic shock, 164 patients met the inclusion criteria for severe septic shock. With conventional therapy (n = 120), survival to hospital discharge was 40%. With venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (n = 44), survival was 50% (p = 0.25; CI, –0.3 to 0.1). In children who suffered an in-hospital cardiac arrest, survival to hospital discharge was 18% with conventional therapy and 42% with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (Δ = 24%; p = 0.02; CI, 2.5–42%). Survival was significantly higher in patients who received high extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flows of greater than 150 mL/kg/min compared with children who received standard extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flows or no extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (82%, 43%, and 48%; p = 0.03; CI, 0.1–0.7 and p
