Figure 1 Non-contrast head computed tomography scan performed after initiating veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenationThe left panel shows an axial section at the level of the lateral ventricles, and the right panel shows a higher axial section. Arrows indicate areas of sulcal effacement. A computed tomography scan shows mild effacement of cortical sulci suggestive of mild cerebral edema in the setting of severe hyperosmolality and the post-cardiac arrest state. No intracranial hemorrhage or acute ischemic changes were observed.
