Abstract Background: Patients who undergo extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) are at risk of left ventricular distention and complications. There is emerging evidence that concurrent mechanical left ventricular (LV) unloading (e.g...

Survival and Factors Associated with Survival with Extracorporeal Life Support During Cardiac Arrest
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 Severely hypothermic patients, especially suffering cardiac arrest, require highly specialized treatment. The most common problems affecting the recognition and treatment seem to be awareness, logistics, and proper planning. In..

Abstract Cardiac arrest is the most serious event among the complications associated with spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia reduces the release of catecholamines and impairs neuroendocrine response following cardiac arrest, which..

Abstract OBJECTIVES No guidelines for mechanical circulatory support in patients with therapy-refractory cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure including ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) exist. To achieve immediate cardiopulmonary stabilization, we established..
