Popis: Introduction. Neurodevelopmental outcome studies of school age children who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a newborn due to severe cardiorespiratory failure suggest that these children are at greater risk for learning disabilities and mental retardation than in the general population. In an attempt to further clarify the nature of potential learning disabilities of children who received ECMO, we assessed the neurodevelopmental status of our ECMO survivors at five years of age.
