Background: Despite apparent clinical and echocardiographic evidence of adequate myocardial function and successful weaning towards decannulation, up to 33% of children who separate from cardiac ECMO do not survive to hospital discharge. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is used as a marker of myocardial dysfunction in multiple clinical settings. We have anecdotally observed that during ECMO weaning, BNP levels remain stable or decreased in patients who survive after decannulation, but are elevated or rise in other children who die following decannulation.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that trends in BNP levels during weaning from V-A ECMO may be useful to predict survival after …
