Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to support patients with respiratory and/or circulatory failure refractory to conventional therapies. Its use is increasing and associated with nervous system complications, responsible for high morbidity and mortality. These neurological events are mainly cerebrovascular in nature; that is, ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Many pre-ECMO factors are associated with neurological injury but during the course of ECMO, the modality used is also diversely associated with nervous system complication. Stroke occurs mainly during venoarterial ECMO, whereas cerebral hemorrhage is mostly observed during venovenous ECMO. These complications have an important impact in terms of outcome, and consequently on multidisciplinary teams decisions. Early detection and specific care for neurological complications could improve the prognosis of these patients.
