Abstract Refractory ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest in younger patients are rare, life-threatening events, particularly when standard resuscitation fails. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides temporary circulatory support, enabling hemodynamic stabilization,..

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a treatment option for refractory cardiac arrest patients, but it has mostly been restricted to hospitals with..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), an emerging resuscitative therapy following refractory cardiac arrests, is associated with hemorrhagic complications that potentially affect patient outcomes. Objectives This study evaluated the risks..

Abstract Background Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) with cardiac arrest is an obstetric emergency with an exceedingly high maternal mortality. Early application of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) may provide essential..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used in adults with refractory cardiac arrest. However, post-resuscitation care in this population remains heterogeneous, evidence-based recommendations are lacking, and most evidence..

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the only therapy capable of rescuing patients from refractory cardiac arrest, but its effectiveness is critically dependent on time to reperfusion. The system proposed..

Abstract Although the goal of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remains survival with meaningful neurologic recovery, secondary contribution to organ donation is increasingly recognized. We identified standardized outcome metrics for quality..

Abstract Background Cardiac rhythm is a well-established prognostic factor in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR); however, existing evidence is primarily limited to small, single-center studies. This study aimed to..

Abstract Many of us have looked at the dying trauma patient and wondered: why can’t we do better? The pathology is often deceptively simple—either there’s not enough circulating blood volume or a..

Abstract Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, life-threatening hypermetabolic reaction to dopamine-antagonist drugs that may progress to profound rhabdomyolysis, extreme hyperkalemia, and cardiac arrest (CA). Evidence guiding extracorporeal cardiopulmonary..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in ICUs and is associated with poor outcomes. However, little is known about AKI in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for..

Abstract Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can significantly improve survival chances. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during CPR (eCPR) could further enhance..
