Association of Cerebral Oximetry with Outcomes after Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with neurologic morbidity and mortality. We investigated whether cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO₂) is associated with neurologic outcomes and survival in children on ECMO.

Methods

This was a retrospective observational study of children aged 1 day to 20 years who underwent ECMO with routine cerebral rSO₂ monitoring in the pediatric intensive care unit at a single academic center between February 2008 and September 2014. We collected all serial rSO₂ values recorded in the electronic medical record during the ECMO course. Favorable outcome was defined as survival with Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) ≤ 2 at hospital discharge or no decline from baseline P
