One-year cognitive and neurologic outcomes in survivors of paediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Resuscitation Mar 01, 2019
Meert K, et al. - Researchers examined extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) survivors enrolled in the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Paediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital (THAPCA-IH) trial to delineate their one-year cognitive and neurologic outcomes. Further, they compared outcomes between survivors who received ECPR, later extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or no ECMO. One hundred twenty-seven survivors with pre-arrest Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales, 2nd edition (VABS-II) >70 were followed-up for 1-year; 57 of these received ECPR, 14 received ECMO later in their course, and 56 did not receive ECMO. Outcomes reveal favorable outcomes in many ECPR survivors despite common encounters with impairments. ECPR survivors were similar to other survivors who were initially comatose post-arrest regarding outcomes .
