EEG patterns in neonatal ECMO signal higher poor-outcome risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding care.
What are the electroencephalographic and neuroimaging findings in neonates undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation compared to mechanical ventilation?
Neonates undergoing ECMO have a high incidence of right-sided repetitive or periodic EEG discharges and ischemic lesions, with electrographic seizures being associated with severe outcomes or death.
Hahn et al. (1993) studied this question.
