Rates of survival with functional recovery for both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac
arrest are notably low. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is emerging as …

Cardiogenic shock can occur due to acute ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiac events, or
from progression of long-standing underlying heart disease. When addressing the cause of …

Background The prevalence of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in
patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been increasing rapidly worldwide …

Importance There is wide variability among emergency medical systems (EMS) with respect
to transport to hospital during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitative efforts. The …

Background Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mortality rates remain very high with poor
neurological outcome in survivors. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is …

Background In selected patients with refractory out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest, extracorporeal
cardiopulmonary resuscitation represents a promising approach when conventional …

Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has gained increasing
as a promising but resource-intensive intervention for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) …

Extracorporeal CPR is a second line treatment for refractory cardiac arrest, as written in the
latest International Guidelines. Optimal timing, patient selection, location and method of …

The use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a salvage
therapy in cardiogenic shock is becoming of current practice. While VA-ECMO is potentially …
