Brief summary
The main objective of this prospective transversal comparative study is to describe the quality of life of children supported by ECMO. These patients are described in detail at the Nantes University Hospital, in particular the elements of neurological monitoring. These results will be analyzed in reference to a population hospitalized at the same age, in the same period, and sharing the same diagnostic categories.
Interventions
OTHERQuality of life assessment using questionnaires
Several quality of life questionnaires will be submitted to the patients and their parents. The questionnaires will be adapted to the age of the patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the overall quality of life of children aged 0-10 years supported by ECMO during their intensive care period with a population of children of the same age hospitalized in pediatric intensive care in the same period. | 15 days | Quality of life evaluated by the total score of the PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM), scale from 0 to 4; 4 being the worst outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To compare the different QoL dimensions of children supported by ECMO between 0 and 10 years of age during their intensive care with reference to a population of children of the same age hospitalized in pediatric intensive care during the same period | up to 15 days | PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire) : Physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, academic functioning. PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire), scale from 0 to 4; 4 being the worst outcome. |
| To compare the different QoL dimensions of children supported by ECMO between 0 and 10 years of age during their intensive care stay to a reference consisting of healthy children, not hospitalized, studied over the same period and in the same country | up to 15 days | PedsQL Questionnaire scores of a cohort of healthy children of the same age from the literature. PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM), scale from 0 to 4; 4 being the worst outcome. |
| Describe the association between neurological complications and their severity (seizures, clinical deficits, imaging lesions) and QoL in patients supported by ECMO. | up to 15 days | — |
