ABSTRACT
Ventricular arrhythmias following neurological injury have been attributed to sympathetic surge in subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. Despite associated risks of bleeding and thrombosis, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill, clinically unstable postoperative neurosurgical patients can be lifesaving. In the context of neurological injury and the neurosurgical population, the literature available regarding ECMO utilization is limited, especially in children. We report a case of successful ECMO utilization in a child with malignant ventricular tachycardia after decompressive craniectomy for refractory intracranial hypertension following evacuation of extensive subdural empyema.
