Abstract Introduction There is increasing evidence for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as a rescue therapy for selected patients in refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Besides patient selection, the control of reperfusion..

Abstract Background: This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest treatment. Methods: A decision tree and Markov model were constructed based on current literature...

Abstract Advancements in cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care have led to improved survival to hospital discharge. While survival to hospital discharge is an important clinical outcome, neurologic recovery is..

Abstract The survival rate after cardiac arrest (CA) remains low. The utilization of extracorporeal life support is proposed to improve management. However, this resource-intensive tool is associated with complications and..

Abstract BACKGROUND The evidence for temperature control for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is inconclusive. Controversy exists as to whether the effects of hypothermia differ per the circumstances of the..

Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is performed in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, and the eligibility has been conventionally determined based on three criteria (initial cardiac rhythm, time..

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) can improve survival in selected patients with cardiac arrest (CA). In this meta-analysis, we evaluated factors associated with short-term survival and favorable neurologic outcome (FNO)..

Abstract Background There is limited literature exploring the relationship between simulation training and  cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) outcomes. We examined whether there was an association between the implementation of an  training program and..

Abstract Cardiac arrest (CA) is a frequent cause of death and a major public health issue. To date, conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the only efficient method of resuscitation available..
