Intracranial hemorrhage in a large cohort of patients supported with veno-venous ECMO. A retrospective single-center analysis.

The results emphasize that ICB is a frequent complication during V-V ECMO. Many bleedings were incidental findings, therefore screening for ICB is advisable. The univariate risk factors reflect the underlying disease severity, coagulation disorders and peri-cannulation factors, and may help to identify patients at risk.
