Multimodal Assessment of the Neurological Prognosis of Patients With Brain Lesions on ExtraCorporeal Life Support

Multimodal Assessment of the Neurological Prognosis of Patients With Brain Lesions on ExtraCorporeal Life Support

It seems of the greatest importance to evaluate the neurological prognosis of patients with brain lesions after cardiorespiratory arrest or circulatory failure requiring circulatory assistance.

However, to date, there is no clinical or paraclinical diagnostic test to reliably assess the future of these patients.

The objective of this study is to highlight the clinical and imaging factors for establishing a neurological prognosis in patients at risk of brain lesions under ExtraCorporeal Life Support (ECLS).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with brain lesions on veno-arterial circulatory support after cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock who require at least 24 hours of sedation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Extubation expected within the first 24 hours of management
• Minor patient
• Pregnant women
