BackgroundPercutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is administered to pediatric patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Echocardiogram was performed for patients with ECMO, including at pre-ECMO, during cannulation, during ECMO support, during the ECMO wean, and a follow up within 3 months after weaning.

Echocardiogram showed LVEF 66% with normal wall motion and normal diastolic function. However, he did not remember much from the day of the arrest. This is a critically important determination because of the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guidelines for Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death.

Formal echocardiogram showed normal EF, no wall motion abnormalities, no pericardial effusion. For now, the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for asymptomatic patients that have inducible types of Brugada syndrome recommend observation without any specific therapies or interventions [8]. No more troponins were done.

A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. For now, the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for asymptomatic patients that have inducible types of Brugada syndrome recommend observation without any specific therapies or interventions [8].
