Is Cerebral Near-infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring Predictive of Neurological Injury During ECMO?

Neurological complications are the major causes of death in patients on ECMO. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used as a noninvasive method of surveillance for cerebral perfusion. Cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring by NIRS may predict neurological injury in ECMO patients
