Serial changes of markers during extracorporeal membranous oxygenation support. (a) White blood cell (WBC), (b) glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), (c) glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), (d) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), (e) total bilirubin, (f) direct bilirubin, (g) blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and (h) creatinine. There were no significant differences between the survivor group and non-survivor group, except for in the serum bilirubin levels. The serum total and direct bilirubin levels on day 7 in the survivor group were significantly lower compared with those on day 7 in the non-survivor group (total bilirubin: 4.6 ± 2.8 vs. 13.7 ± 10.8 mg/dL, p = 0.014; direct bilirubin: 2.2 ± 0.5 vs. 9.8 ± 4.5 mg/dL, p = 0.009).
