Conditions
Brief summary
Intracranial hemorrhage is is a rare, but critical incident in patients with acute lung failure undergoing ECMO therapy. Predictors of intracranial hemorrhage are yet to be defined to identify patients at (high) risk. This retrospective analysis investigates the predictive value and validity of parameters and specific risk factors of critically ill ARDS patients treated with ECMO.
