Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an adjunct supportive therapy to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) employing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of refractory cardiac arrest. Its use..

Abstract A nationwide trial has kicked off in the Netherlands as four Mobile Medical Teams join forces to offer extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as rescue therapy for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest...

Abstract The time between onset of cardiogenic shock and initiation of mechanical circulatory support is inversely related to patient survival as delays in transporting patients to the operating room (OR)..

Abstract Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality with survival rates of less than 10%. In selected patients, survival may be improved via timely application of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)...

Abstract Approximately 350,000 adults per year in the US experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Only about 10% of such patients survive their initial hospitalization. The key drivers of successful resuscitation..

Abstract Aim  Head and thorax elevation during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation improves cerebral hemodynamics and ultimate neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. Its effect during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) is unknown. We tested..

Abstract Aim of Study To prepare for the design of future  of  cardioupulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), we sought to understand physician beliefs regarding the use of ECPR and subsequent management, among physicians who..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with excessively high mortality rates. Recent studies suggest benefits from extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) performed in selected patients. We sought to present..

Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising resuscitation strategy for select patients suffering from refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), though limited data exist regarding the best..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) frequently present with blood glucose levels out of normal range. The clinical relevance of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Research question Given the relative independence of ventilator settings from gas exchange and plasticity of blood gas values during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), do mechanical ventilation parameters and blood..

Abstract Importance  Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has poor outcome. Whether intra-arrest transport, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and immediate invasive assessment and treatment (invasive strategy) is beneficial in this setting remains uncertain...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac arrest is an important public health concern, affecting an estimated 356,500 people in the out-of-hospital setting and 209,000 people in the in-hospital setting each year. The causes of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac arrest (CA) is a frequent cause of death and a major public health issue. To date, conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the only efficient method of resuscitation available..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract We evaluated the optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP) for favorable neurological outcomes in patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Adult patients who underwent ECPR were included. The average..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background  cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has gained increasing as a promising but resource-intensive intervention for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). There is little data to quantify the impact of this intervention..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Survival of children experiencing cardiac arrest refractory to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is very poor. We sought to examine current era outcomes of extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) support for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO) in cardiac critical care has steadily increased over the past decade. Significant improvements in the technology associated with ECMO have propagated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has remained low despite advances in resuscitation science. Hospital-based extra-corporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a novel use of an established technology that provides..
