a

Denotes values below the lower limit of quantification (LLQ=0.040 ng/mL)

b

Normal serial HUS during ECMO. Brain MRI 6 weeks post-ECMO decannulation: few old intraventricular and intraparenchymal hemorrhagic foci

c

Normal serial HUS during ECMO. Brain MRI 2 weeks post-ECMO decannulation: unilateral unilobar focal encephalomalacia consistent with prior ischemic event
