Abstract
We demonstrate that PIs on TCDs in patients treated with VA-ECMO are either low or cannot be calculated depending on the severity of myocardial suppression, and should not be mistaken for cerebral vasodilation or cerebral circulatory arrest. Moreover, rising PIs in these patients can represent improving cardiac function and should not be confused with elevated ICPs.
