Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic brain infarction (BI) is a recognized complication in adults treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and associated with increased mortality. However, predictors of BI in these patients are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of BI in ECMO-treated adult patients. We conducted an observational cohort study of all adult patients treated with venovenous or venoarterial (VA) ECMO at our center between 2010 and 2018. The primary endpoint was a computed tomography (CT) verified BI. Logistic regression models were employed to identify BI predictors. In total, 275 patients were included, of whom 41 (15%) developed a BI. Pre-ECMO Simplified Acute Physiology Score III, pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, VA ECMO and conversion between ECMO modes were identified as predictors of BI. In the multivariable analysis, VA ECMO demonstrated independent risk association. VA ECMO also remained the independent BI predictor in a sub-group analysis excluding patients who did not undergo a head CT scan during ECMO treatment. The incidence of BI in adult ECMO patients may be higher than previously believed and is independently associated with VA ECMO mode. Larger prospective trials are warranted to validate these findings and ascertain their clinical significance.
