Variation in electroencephalography and neuroimaging for children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Seizures, strokes, and intracranial hemorrhage are common and feared complications in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Researchers and clinicians have proposed and deployed methods for monitoring and detecting neurologic injury, but best practices are unknown. We sought to characterize clinicians' approach to electroencephalography (EEG) and brain imaging modalities in children supported by ECMO.

Methods

We performed a retrospective observational cohort study among US Children's Hospitals participating in the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) from 2016 to 2021. We identified hospitalizations containing ECMO support. We stratified these admissions by pediatric, neonatal, cardiac surgery, and non-cardiac surgery. We cha
