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 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..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used for refractory paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Although rapid initiation of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is widely considered critical, the relative..

Abstract Differential oxygenation may complicate extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) either due to the initial pathology or subsequent lung injury. The dual circulation phenomenon inherent to peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..

Abstract Objectives:  While potential risks for limb ischemia have been explored in studies of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), they remain inadequately defined for patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)...

Abstract Objectives:  Establishing an effective “chain of survival” for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) requires addressing gender disparities, which have been reported in both prehospital and in-hospital treatments. However, evidence of..

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 The use of left-sided Impella microaxial flow pumps has expanded rapidly for the management of cardiogenic shock, left ventricular unloading and as a bridge to heart transplantation. However, standard..

Abstract Background Although extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has shown promise for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA), limited data exist regarding its application in cases involving severe primary blast lung injury..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may reduce mortality and improve neurological outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. We updated our existing meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to further evaluate..

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest in trauma patients can occur from traumatic or non-traumatic aetiologies. Traditionally, trauma has been regarded a contraindication for extracorporeal life support, particularly extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)...

Abstract The 2025 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines present the most up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the practice of resuscitation across Europe. The ERC Guidelines 2025 are based on evidence produced..

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an established intervention for select patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest. Among modifiable predictors of survival and neurologic recovery during ECPR implementation, timely restoration of..

Abstract Purpose Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an advanced resuscitation therapy for cardiopulmonary arrest refractory to standard CPR. ECPR treatment recommendations are not supported by strong evidence, and institutional criteria..

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory cardiac arrest is increasing in usage, but risk factors for seizures are largely unknown. We included adult ECPR patients in the Extracorporeal Life..

Abstract Cardiac arrest outcomes remain historically poor with survival to hospital discharge less than 2.2% in the UK (). Refractory cardiac arrest is characterized by a persistent loss of circulation..

Abstract Background The optimal low‐flow duration (LFD) for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of LFD on neurological outcomes based on..

Abstract Background While the clinical effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has gained increasing attention, its real-world utilization, patient selection, and system-level implementation remain incompletely..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can improve outcomes in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but access is limited by geographic and system constraints. We aimed to compare the potential..

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using a dual-lumen cannula coupled with continuous mechanical chest compressions (cMCC) for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and compare it..

Abstract BackgroundCPR-induced consciousness (CPRIC) is defined as consciousness during CPR, ranging from eye opening to combative behaviour and vocalisation, despite the absence of spontaneous circulation. CPRIC has not previously been..

Abstract Objectives:  Previous studies have shown that inaccurate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings compared with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) may occur in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. We hypothesized that..

Abstract Background In refractory cardiac arrest, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation may increase the survival chance. However, in cases of unsuccessful treatment, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation may additionally provide an important source of organ donors...

Abstract Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a method for initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass during resuscitation of a patient with refractory cardiac arrest to support end-organ perfusion. This retrospective study evaluates..

Abstract Background ECPR patients who receive guideline-compliant CPR will have improved survival to hospital discharge (SHD) compared to patients who do not receive guideline-compliant CPR, regardless of CPR duration. Methods..
