Utility of Routine Head Ultrasounds in Infants on Extracorporeal Life Support: When is it Safe to Stop Scanning?

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) can be a devastating complication of extracorporeal life support (ECLS); however, studies on the timing of ICH detection by head ultrasound (HUS) are from 2 decades ago, suggesting ICH is diagnosed by day 5 of ECLS. Given advancements in imaging and critical care, our a...

Zusammenfassung:Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) can be a devastating complication of extracorporeal life support (ECLS); however, studies on the timing of ICH detection by head ultrasound (HUS) are from 2 decades ago, suggesting ICH is diagnosed by day 5 of ECLS. Given advancements in imaging and critical care, our aim was to evaluate if the timing of ICH diagnosis in infants on ECLS support has changed. Patients
