The relative change in PaCO2 in the first 24 hours was calculated as (24-h post-ECMO PaCO2\u2009\u2212\u2009pre-ECMO PaCO2)\/pre-ECMO PaCO2.

The median relative change in PaCO2 was \u221231% (interquartile range, \u221246% to \u221212%). Neurological complications were uncommon overall (6.9%), with a low incidence of seizures (1.1%), ischemic stroke (1.9%), intracranial hemorrhage (3.5%), and brain death (1.6%). Patients with a large relative decrease in PaCO2 (&amp;gt;50%) had an increased incidence of neurological complications compared with those with a smaller decrease (9.8% vs. 6.4%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). A large relative decrease in PaCO2 was independently associated with neurological complications after controlling for previously described risk factors (odds ratio, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.3
