Neurological Prognostication Using Electroencephalogram in Adult Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Limitations and Recommendations

Authors: Sung-Min Cho, Eva K. Ritzl

Published in: Neurocritical Care | Issue 3/2020

Excerpt

Acute brain injuries (ABIs) and neurological complications are associated with an increased morbidity and mortality in patients with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) [1, 2]. However, due to lack of standardized definitions and neuromonitoring protocols for neurological complications in patients with V-A ECMO support, the true prevalence of ABIs is unknown and the detection of ABI is often delayed. As a result, information on neurological prognostication is sparse, especially for persistently comatose V-A ECMO patients. …
