Data Collection
Data was collected from either a preexisting database of adult ECMO
patients, where available, or directly from patient charts. Baseline
demographic information, including age, gender, body mass index,
comorbidities, and etiology of cardiogenic shock was recorded for all
patients. Characteristics of ECMO support in each patient were also
collected. Each head CT imaging was reviewed by a single board certified
vascular neurologist (JW) to determine the type and location of stroke.
