Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: pre-hospital or in-hospital cannulation?

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) is the establishment of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). E-CPR is the last rescue therapy when, despite high-quality conventional CPR,..
