- Abstract
Editorial The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with better survival rates among select critically ill patients such as those with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19[[1], [3]] or cardiogenic shock.[4] However, approximately one-half of patients who receive ECMO will die, and severe complications often arise during treatment, including bleeding, ischemia, and neurological problems.[5] Consequently, the functional, cognitive, and mental outcomes after ECMO are extremely important, given that the overall goal of intensive care is survival with good or acceptable health. These patients were matched 1:6 with 3830 survivors of treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) who had not been treated with ECMO. After propensity weighting, ICU survivorship following ECMO treatment, compared with ICU survivorship without ECMO treatment, was significantly associated with a higher risk of new mental health diagnoses (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24 [95% CI, 1.01-1.51]).
