Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this retrospective study is to describe the different types of acute neurologic complications in children who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and their risk factors. The research will also assess the child health at 1 year after withdrawal from ECMO and in 2020 in terms of neurological state and quality of life.


Clinical Trial Description

Neurological complications are relatively common (around 30%) in patients undergoing extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). They can be hemorrhagic or ischemic and are partly due to the difficulty of balancing heparin therapy. Few pediatric studies have estimated the incidence and risk factors for these lesions. In addition, the developmental monitoring and quality of life of these children is not systematic or standardized, and their long-term outcome deserves to be better evaluated. The purpose of this retrospective study is to describe the different types of acute neurologic complications in children who underwent veno-veinous or veno-arterial ECMO and their risk factors. The study is being conducted at Necker Enfants Malades hospital between 2014 and 2019. The research will also assess the child health at 1 year after withdrawal from ECMO and in 2020 in terms of neurological state and quality of life. ;
