FOLLOW-UP OF INFANTS & CHILDREN TREATED WITH EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION

这项研究旨在提高对长期的认识。 静脉-动脉(VA)和静脉-静脉(VV)的体外效应 膜氧合(ECMO)。这项研究的目的是确定 长期神经心理结果及相关的学业和行为 ECMO幸存者的问题。鉴于之前的研究已经解决了 这些人口通过婴儿期和学龄前阶段的结果，我们有 选择在七岁时探索神经心理学的结果。我们 将解决早期神经心理缺陷的关系 在这一人群中表现出对特定学习的发展 残疾和行为问题，如注意力缺陷障碍。 除了整体智力功能外，具体领域 有待研究的神经心理学结果将包括语言， 视觉/空间技能和运动规划、记忆和注意力以及 学术筛选。心理社会适应与学术报告 将使用已完成的标准化核对表对功能进行评估 被家长和老师。这项研究的目标是进一步 调查在这组儿童中发现的具体缺陷 以便最好地解决他们将需要优化的服务 功能正常。一种特定的神经心理缺陷模式可能表明 是一种可识别的伤害方式。我们计划继续积累 并申请拨款，以进一步支持这项研究。

This study is designed to improve the understandng of the long term effects of both venoarterial (VA) and venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The aim of this study is to determine the long-term neuropsychological outcome and related academic and behavior problems of ECMO survivors. Whereas previous studies have addressed the outcome of this population through infancy and pre-school, we have chosen to explore the neuropsychological outcome through age seven. We will address the relationship of early neuropsychologic deficits demonstrated in this population to the development of specific learning disabilities and behavioral problems such as attention deficit disorder. In addition to overall intellectual functioning, specific areas of neuropsychologic outcome to be studied will include language, visual/spatial skills and motor planning, memory and attention and academic screening. Psychosocial adjustment and reports of academic functioning will be evaluated using standardized checklists completed by parents and teachers. The goal of this study is to further investigate the specific deficits seen in this group of children in order to best address the services they will require to optimize functioning. A specific pattern of neuropsychologic deficit may point to an identifiable mode of injury. We plan to continue to accrue patients and apply for grant funding to further support this research.
