Characteristics of TBI VV ECMO Nonsurvivors With Mortality Due to Neurologic Diagnosis
| Subject | Cause of Death | Pre-ECMO GCS | Pre-ECMO Rotterdam Score | Pre-ECMO Marshall Score | New Finding on Head CT While on VV ECMO | Characteristics of New Finding on VV ECMO | Neurologic Decline While on VV ECMO | Pre-ECMO Head CT Findings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DNR due to poor neurologic prognosis | 3 | 2 | 1 | No | NA | Yes | Cerebral edema |
| 2 | DNR due to poor neurologic prognosis | 3 | 2 | 1 | No | NA | No | Cerebral edema |
| 3 | DNR due to poor neurologic prognosis | 3 | 5 | 6 | No | NA | No | IPH, IVH |
| 4 | Declared brain dead | 3 | 5 | 5 | Yes | Size of hemorrhage | No | SAH, SDH |
| 5 | Declared brain dead | 3 | 3 | 2 | No | NA | No | Cerebral edema, DAI, IVH |
DAI, diffuse axonal injury; DNR, do not resuscitate; IPH, intraparenchymal hemorrhage; IVH, intraventricular hemorrhage; SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage; SDH, subdural hematoma.
