The Use of Predictive Modeling to Compare Prehospital eCPR Strategies

Michael Spigner et al.

Summary: The duration of low flow prior to eCPR initiation is found to affect survival rates. Strategies aiming to reduce low-flow interval for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest include expedited patient transport and prehospital extracorporeal support. By comparing the low-flow interval at different locations in Albuquerque, a model predicts that prehospital cannulation consistently outperforms expedited transport, with a difference of 34.3 to 37.2 minutes. This suggests the potential of prehospital cannulation strategy in achieving shorter low-flow interval and broader eCPR coverage.

Effect of Intra-arrest Transport, Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, and Immediate Invasive Assessment and Treatment on Functional Neurologic Outcome in Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest A Randomized Clinical Trial

Jan Belohlavek et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether an early invasive approach improves neurologically favorable survival in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The results showed no significant difference in survival with neurologically favorable outcome at 180 days between the invasive strategy group and the standard strategy group. However, the invasive strategy group had higher rates of neurologic and cardiac recovery at 30 days.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes, end-tidal carbon dioxide and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation eligibility: New South Wales pilot data

Mark Dennis

Summary: This study aimed to provide information on on-scene times for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) transferred to hospital, the number of these that were extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) eligible, and the potential association between end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and survival. The results showed that the average on-scene time did not affect survival rates significantly, and only a small number of transported OHCA patients were eligible for ECPR. An ETCO2 level below 20 mmHg indicated a poor prognosis.

Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Adults. Interim Guideline Consensus Statement From the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization

Alexander Sacha C. Richardson et al.

Summary: This guideline serves as a practical guide for implementing ECPR and managing patients early following ECMO support establishment. Consensus among authors has been used to provide guidance where high-quality evidence is lacking, and the guideline will be updated as more evidence becomes available in this field.

A pragmatic parallel group implementation study of a prehospital-activated ECPR protocol for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Brian Grunau et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ECPR on refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but was prematurely terminated due to changes in hospital protocols and COVID-19. The results showed no significant association between the ECPR region and outcomes, but data suggest that ECPR therapies may potentially lead to additional survivors.

Reliability of prognostic biomarkers after prehospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation with target temperature management

Walter Petermichl et al.

Summary: The combination of ECPR and TTM implemented as soon as possible on scene appears to have promising results in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. A short low-flow time until ECPR initiation is important for a good neurological outcome, while a higher BMI may be associated with a worse neurological outcome. Prognostic biomarkers such as S100, NSE, lactate, D-dimers, and IL6 were reliable indicators of neurological outcome when ECPR and TTM were performed at the emergency scene.
