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 …

Background Although outcomes of patients after cardiac arrest remain poor, studies have
suggested that extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) might improve survival …

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has initiated a continuous review of
new, peer-reviewed, published cardiopulmonary resuscitation science. This is the third …

The fundamentals of cardiac resuscitation include the immediate provision of high-quality
cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with rapid defibrillation (as appropriate). These …

Purpose Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in patients
during cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock, to support both cardiac and pulmonary …

Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may reduce mortality
and improve neurological outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. We updated our existing …

Aim To assess the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), compared
with manual or mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), for out-of-hospital cardiac …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used increasingly for both
respiratory and cardiac failure in adult patients. Indications for ECMO use in cardiac failure …

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for both respiratory and cardiac
failure in adults is evolving rapidly. Advances in technology and accumulating data are …

Introduction In-hospital cardiac arrest is a major adverse event with an incidence of 1–
6/1000 admissions. It has been poorly researched and data on survival is limited. The …
