Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a promising treatment for refractory out-of-
hospital cardiac arrest. Three recent randomized trials (ARREST trial, Prague OHCA study …

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with prolonged or
refractory out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is likely to be beneficial when used as part …

Background The severity of tissue hypoxia is routinely assessed by serum lactate. We aimed
to determine whether early lactate levels predict outcomes in refractory out-of-hospital …

Background Refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has a poor outcome. In

Background Randomized data evaluating the impact of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (ECPR) approach on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with refractory out …

Background Around the world, survival rates after cardiac arrest range between< 14% for in-
hospital (IHCA) and< 10% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This situation could …

Introduction Failure to restore spontaneous circulation remains a major cause of death for
cardiac arrest (CA) patients. Mechanical circulatory support, specifically extracorporeal …

ABSTRACT Background Refractory Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (r-OHCA) is common and
the benefit versus harm of intra-arrest transport of patients to hospital is not clear. Objective …

The potential of ECPR to increase survival in selected patients in highly dedicated systems
seems to be proven, the question remains whether ECPR for OHCA can be widely …
