Posterior Segment Findings in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Purpose: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an established treatment modality for critically ill patients with cardiopulmonary failure, yet little is known of the ocular pathology in this population. The aim of this study is to characterize the posterior segment findings of ECMO patients.

Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of 20 ECMO patients evaluated by ophthalmology from September 2012 to May 2019 at a level 1 trauma center.
