Abstract Background Refractory ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) carries poor survival with conventional resuscitation. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) improves outcomes in selected patients; however, time to reperfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a time-critical intervention for selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest. Survival depends on minimizing low-flow duration before ECPR initiation. Timely deployment requires organizational..

Abstract Aims Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may improve outcomes in selected patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but timely access is essential. In Greater London, a prehospital ECPR pathway..

Abstract In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we compared extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation and early management performed in the emergency resuscitation room (ERR) versus the intensive care unit (ICU)...

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation during refractory cardiac arrest has become a key therapeutic option in contemporary critical care medicine. When initiated in a timely manner, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation..

Abstract Objectives Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly employed for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, yet optimal criteria for patient selection remain poorly understood. Pre-cannulation lactate and pH values are..

Abstract Aim Early downward temperature drift is a common event of pre-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (e-CPR), since prehospital extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) circuits often lack heat-exchangers. However, whether this core..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a lifesaving technology that has been widely described for in-hospital cardiac arrest in children with underlying cardiac disease. However, data..

Abstract Objectives Recent randomized controlled trials comparing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) reveal mixed outcomes; however, current data support an association between ECPR and neurologically intact..

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest impacts more than 500,000 people in the United States annually. Overall, cardiac arrest, particularly when it occurs outside of a hospital, is associated with low rates..

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest is increasingly used, with survival rates up to ≈30% reported in select highly organized systems, although outcomes vary widely across programs...

Abstract Background Readiness for venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) decannulation after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poorly defined. Objectives The objective of the study was to..

Abstract Multimodal neurologic prognostication (MM-NP) after cardiac arrest has been shown to enhance prognostic accuracy, however, it is vastly underutilized in real-world settings. Guideline-discordant practices and healthcare disparities in post-cardiac..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly considered for prehospital cardiac arrest management; however, its impact on resuscitation performance remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether integrating an..

Abstract Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of global mortality, with low survival rates despite advances in resuscitation science. Reported survival ranges from 8% to 34% for out-of-hospital and in-hospital..

Abstract Objectives: Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) events leading to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) most often occur in the ICU in cardiac patients. Since there is little information about using..

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing an extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) strategy for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) compared with current practice in Singapore, where it is not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU-CA) is distinct from other in-hospital cardiac arrests, involving critically ill patients in monitored settings. Its prevalence and outcomes remain unclear...

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging rescue strategy for select patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Mobile ECPR programs aim to reduce low-flow time by initiating extracorporeal..

Abstract Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization are at risk of major adverse events, including cardiac arrest and the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. The primary aim of this study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation has shown promise in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but evidence in younger adults remains limited. Younger adults represent a unique subgroup with distinct etiologies and potentially..
