Abstract Introduction Evidence suggests that Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) can improve survival rates for nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, when ECPR is indicated over 50% of potential candidates are..

Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can be considered in selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest. Given the risk of patient futility and high resource utilisation, identifying ECPR candidates, who..

Abstract Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a frequent medical emergency with low survival rates even after a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Growing evidence supports formation of dedicated teams..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged in the context of the emergency department as a life-saving therapy for patients with refractory cardiac arrest. This review examines the utility of..
