ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) #173

Open Yannis-ys opened 3 years ago

Yannis-ys commented 3 years ago

I want to know if the patient had received ECMO therapy. But I cannot find any table that contains this information. For example, "Treatment " table has no ECMO record. Only in "Nursecharting" table did I find one record of ECMO (shown in the picture). image

But I think it is not possible that only one patient had received ECMO therapy. Are there any other tables that contain this information? Thank you!

I honestly do not know. A couple of reasons this may be the case:

1) eICU-CRD ICUs tend to be slightly lower acuity and rural hospitals and may not be setup for ECMO. 2) The hospitals that do have ECMO may not interface with eICU.
