Prevalence of Seizures and Risk Factors for Mortality in a Continuous Cohort of Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients.
To evaluate the risk factors for mortality in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. ⋯ Seizures are common in children requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, with a high rate of electrographic seizures and status epilepticus, as in prior studies. Presence of cerebral edema is both risk factor for mortality and seizures. Other risk factors for mortality include extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, high lactate levels, and prolonged deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
