Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is performed in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, and the eligibility has been conventionally determined based on three criteria (initial cardiac rhythm, time..

Abstract Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) refractory to conventional high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be rescued by extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Even when trying..

Abstract Background Despite advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, functional survival remains low after (OOHCA). (IABP) therapy has recently been shown to augment cerebral blood flow. Whether therapy in the post-resuscitation period improves functional outcomes..

Abstract Aim Although recent (CA) trials found no benefits of versus normothermia , preclinical models suggest earlier timing of hypothermia improves efficacy. This study investigated whether shorter time to goal temperature was associated with..
