Filter by:Mortality rates for newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) have dramatically decreased thanks to surgical methods and medical treatment improvements. Up to 70% of patients may have post- Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) cerebral dysfunction, which can result in long-term cognitive and motor impairment, first showing as brain edema and higher intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) is a non-invasive method of measuring Intracranial Pressure (ICP). The Primary Aim of this study is to identify the correlation between ONSD and ECLS time in newborns who get ECLS.
