Predictors of intracranial hemorrhage during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
To identify independent predictors of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ⋯ Gestational age, acidosis, sepsis, coagulopathy, and treatment with epinephrine are major independent factors associated with ICH in neonates treated with ECMO. In particular, GA <34 weeks remains a major barrier for use of current ECMO technologies.
