Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: A retrospective study of adults supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenators at a single institution between January 1992 and December 1996 was performed. Age, gender, weight, body surface area, renal function, anticoagulation, coagulation variables, blood flow, arterial pressure, arterial cannulation sites, duration of support, extracranial bleeding, native cardiac function and presence of intracranial microemboli were analyzed to determine the risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
