Abstract

Neurologic complications can occur with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to several factors. Prior studies identified neonates as having unique risk factors and neuroimaging findings post ECMO. The aim of this study is to describe brain magnetic resonance imaging findings of pediatric patients treated with ECMO. We conducted a retrospective study of nonneonatal pediatric patients who underwent a comprehensive brain magnetic resonance imaging after ECMO between January 2000 and July 2015. We identified 47 pediatric patients in the study cohort with a median age of 8 months (interquartile range 3-170 months) and a median ECMO run duration of 7.15 days (interquartile range 3.8-10.3 days). Among indications for ECMO cannulation, 12 (25.5%) were cardiac, 23 (48.9%) were respiratory, and 12 (25.5%) were extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation cannulations. There were 33 (70.2%) veno-arterial cannulations of which 14 (42%) were transthoracic cannulations. There were 13 patients (27.7%) with an overall incidence of stroke: 8 patients had exclusive ischemic strokes, 2 had hemorrhagic strokes, and 3 had mixed types of stroke. The number of strokes in patients on veno-arterial ECMO was significantly decreased in patient...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
