Cerebral Pathophysiology in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Pitfalls in Daily Clinical Management

<div>TCD waveforms of a patient on venoarterial- (VA-) ECMO. Low mean cerebral blood flow velocities are observed in bilateral middle cerebral artery distributions along with low pulsatility indices. L-MCA: left middle cerebral artery; R-MCA: right middle cerebral artery; PI: pulsatility index.</div>
