We developed and successfully implemented a method for detailed real-time associations between processes of clinical care and precursors of neurologic injury.
Case report of a 13-yr-old patient after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant for stage III neuroblastoma with sepsis and hemodynamic instability who survived to discharge after a 6-day course of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.
The initial data was positive and suggested that this approach is safe and feasible. We now broaden our experience with another two patients who underwent this approach, and highlight a number of technical and management modifications that have been made to optimize the procedure.
