Kp. Vanmeurs et al., INTRACRANIAL ABNORMALITIES AND NEURODEVELOPMENTAL STATUS AFTER VENOVENOUS EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE-OXYGENATION, The Journal of pediatrics, 125(2), 1994, pp. 304-307
Computed tomography scans of the head and early neurodevelopmental ass
essment (Bayley Scales of Infant Development) were recorded for 24 sur
viving infants who received venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygena
tion and were compared with those of infants treated with venoarterial
bypass matched by diagnosis and oxygenation index before extracorpore
al membrane oxygenation. A comparable neuroradiographic and early neur
odevelopmental outcome was documented for survivors of venoarterial an
d venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
