Prevalence and Neurological Outcomes of Comatose Patients With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate prevalence, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes of comatose extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients.

Design

Retrospective observational.

Setting

Tertiary academic hospital.

Participants

Adults received venoarterial (VA) or venovenous (VV) ECMO support between November 2017 and April 022.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We defined 24-hour off sedation as no sedative infusion (except dexmedetomidine) or paralytics administration over a continuous 24-hour period while on ECMO. Off-sedation coma (coma_off) was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale score of ≤8 after achieving 24-hour off sedation. On-sedation coma (coma_on) was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale score of ≤8 during th
