Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest and prolonged conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains poor, with out-of-hospital survival rates of only 2%–10%. Conventional veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation can restore..
