ObjectivePatients with acute lung or heart failure can experience hypoxic ischemic brain injury resulting in neurovascular unit (NVU) dysfunction. The NVU couples brain activity and perfusion. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used for refractory lung and/or heart failure and often necessitates sedation, obfuscating neurological assessments. We hypothesized that combining cerebral electrographic activity and perfusion monitoring can detect brain injury in adults undergoing ECMO. Met...
