Death by Neurologic Criteria in Neonates Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry Study, 2010–2023
DNC is rarely diagnosed in neonatal ECMO cases. Both pre-ECMO and on-ECMO factors associated with DNC included pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, severe metabolic acidosis, and cannulation type. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing pre-ECMO and on-ECMO management and may indicate certain modifiable risk factors such as optimization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and hyperoxia. Future research should explore preventive strategies and interventions to mitigate the risk of DNC in neonates receiving ECMO.
