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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising intervention for refractory cardiac arrest, with potential benefits in survival and neurological outcomes. However, the impact of ECPR’s rapid,..
Read MoreAbstract As extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly utilized for refractory cardiac arrest in adults, we learn significantly more about resuscitation in ways that were not applicable, or even available..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) has demonstrated patient outcome-driven benefits for those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia but remains an infrequent procedure requiring hands-on training...
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a time-critical, resource-intensive intervention used in select cases of refractory cardiac arrest. Its success depends on rapid initiation, streamlined workflows, and coordination across multidisciplinary..
Read MoreAbstract When conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) cannot restore spontaneous circulation, the initiation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during refractory cardiac arrest—known as extracorporeal CPR (ECPR)—might restore circulation and adequate tissue..
Read MoreAbstract Background Survival from refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) remains low. Extracorporeal cardiac resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly be utilised in refractory OHCA,..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: We aimed to characterize the impact of body mass index (BMI) on stroke in patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: We queried the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract Background There are limited data on the causes of death in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). This study aimed to analyse the causes of death among patients who..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used to rescue patients in cardiac arrest. However, minimal data guide candidacy decisions, and centers must develop their own initiation criteria, raising..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) requires advanced skills for induction and management. This study evaluated whether the outcomes of ECPR differ by institutional volume. Using the Japanese Association for Acute..
Read MoreAbstract Aim To compare the long-term Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) between patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods and..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Contemporary rates of survival after pediatric in-hospital CPR events and trends in survival over the last 20 years have not been compared based on illness category. We hypothesized that..
Read MoreAbstract The increased accessibility of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following the COVID‐19 pandemic and the publication of the first randomized trial of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) prompted the National Heart, Lung,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Patents with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are at high risk of death or poor neurologic recovery if spontaneous circulation is not rapidly restored. Emergent mechanical circulatory support with..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used for adults with cardiac arrest (CA) refractory to Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). Concerns exist that adding ECPR could worsen health..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To describe the six-month functional outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in Australia. Design Secondary analysis of EXCEL registry data...
Read MoreAbstract Background Survival for cardiac arrest remains poor, and the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has been suggested as a potential therapy to improve outcomes. Harefield Hospital has been performing..
Read MoreAbstract Background. The global shortage of solid organs for transplantation is exacerbated by high demand, resulting in organ deficits and steadily growing waiting lists. Diverse strategies have been established to..
Read MoreAbstract Four randomized trials published between 2020 and 2023 compared extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the controversial findings of the last one, the INCEPTION trial triggered great..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a complex, life-saving procedure that uses mechanical support for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, representing the pinnacle of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) applications. Effective..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) utilizes veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in cardiac arrest patients to reduce the risk of mortality and multiorgan dysfunction from systemic hypoperfusion. We aimed..
Read MoreAbstract This case report details a rare instance of total reversal of the pulmonary circulation (RPC) in a 56-year-old male patient on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) during emergency..
Read MoreAbstract Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasing. Prehospital ECPR (PH-ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may improve both equity of access and..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The haemodynamic effects veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remain inadequately understood. We investigated invasive left ventricular (LV) haemodynamics in patients who underwent treatment with an intensive care strategy..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a treatment for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), often due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the long-term impact of prehospital ECPR on..
