Biomarkers of Brain Injury in Critically-Ill Children on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

About

Brief Summary

The BEAM study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study in children supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary goals of this study are to develop and refine a brain injury multimarker panel for accurate neurologic monitoring at the bedside and early classification of mortality and disability outcomes of critically ill children supported on ECMO.
