ECMO use in the pediatric cardiac patient can be lifesaving but the long term effects are still not well known. This week we explore the neurodevelopmental outcomes in a cohort of patients from Boston Children's Hospital who underwent ECMO support following cardiac surgery and explore factors associated with their neurodevelopmental outcomes. How do these patients fare in comparison to non-ECMO pediatric cardiac surgical patients? Are there modifiable factors that may improve outcomes? We explore these issues with Dr. Ravi Thiagarajan, Professor of Pediatrics - Harvard University and Director of Cardiac Critical Care at Boston Children's Hospital this week. doi: 10.1007/s00246-019-02115-1
