Abstract
OBJECTIVE Data suggest extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) improves survival in adult patients with refractory cardiac arrest; however, ECPR outcomes in pediatric patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is lacking. The primary aim of this study was to characterize pediatric patients who experience OHCA or cardiac arrest in the ED (EDCA). The secondary aim was to examine associations of cardiac arrest and location of ECPR cannulation with mortality. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry. We included pediatric patients (age > 28 days to <18 years) who received ECPR for refractory OHCA or EDCA between 2010 and 2019. Patient, cardiac arrest, and ECPR cannulation characteristics were summarized. We examined associations of location of cardiac arrest and ECPR cannulation with in-hospital mortality using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS We analyzed data from 140 pediatric patients. 66 patients (47%) experienced OHCA and 74 patients (53%) experienced EDCA. Overall survival to hospital discharge was 31% (20% OHCA survival vs. 41% EDCA survival, p = 0.008). In adjusted analyses, OHCA was associated with 3.9 times greater odds of mortality (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.61, 9.81) when compared to compared to EDCA. The location of ECPR cannulation was not associated with mortality (odds ratio 1.8, 95% CI 0.75, 4.3). CONCLUSIONS The use of ECPR for pediatric patients with refractory OHCA is associated with poor survival compared to patients with EDCA. Location of ECPR cannulation does not appear to be associated with mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a potential intervention for OHCA, but its effectiveness compared to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) needs further evaluation. METHOD We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant studies from January 2010 to March 2023. Pooled meta-analysis was performed to investigate any potential association between ECPR and improved survival and neurological outcomes. RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis included two randomized controlled trials enrolling 162 participants and 10 observational cohort studies enrolling 4507 participants. The pooled meta-analysis demonstrated that compared to CCRP, ECPR did not improve survival and neurological outcomes at 180 days following OHCA (RR: 3.39, 95% CI: 0.79 to 14.64; RR: 2.35, 95% CI: 0.97 to 5.67). While a beneficial effect of ECPR was obtained regarding 30-day survival and neurological outcomes. Furthermore, ECPR was associated with a higher risk of bleeding complications. Subgroup analysis showed that ECPR was prominently beneficial when exclusively initiated in the emergency department. Additional post-resuscitation treatments did not significantly impact the efficacy of ECPR on 180-day survival with favorable neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS There is no high-quality evidence supporting the superiority of ECPR over CCPR in terms of survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients. However, due to the potential for bias, heterogeneity among studies, and inconsistency in practice, the non-significant results do not preclude the potential benefits of ECPR. Further high-quality research is warranted to optimize ECPR practice and provide more generalizable evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Comparing the effects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) on outcomes in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in China. The benefits of ECPR over CCPR in patients with IHCA remain controversial. DESIGN This article analyzed data from the BASeline Investigation of In-hospital Cardiac Arrest (BASIC-IHCA) study, which consecutively enrolled patients with IHCA from July 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. Patients who received ECPR were selected as the case group and matched with patients who received CCPR as the control group by propensity score at a ratio of 1:4. A parallel questionnaire survey of participating hospitals was conducted, to collect data on ECPR cases from January 1, 2021 to November 30, 2021. The primary outcome was survival to discharge or 30-day survival. SETTING We included 39 hospitals across 31 provinces in China. PATIENTS Patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and without contraindications to ECPR were selected from the BASIC-IHCA database. Patients older than 75 years, not witnessed, or with cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration less than 10 min were excluded. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 4853 patients met the inclusion criteria before matching, with 34 undergoing ECPR (median age, 56.5 yr; 67.65% male) and 4819 underwent CCPR (median age, 59 yr; 64.52% male). There were 132 patients receiving CCPR and 33 patients receiving ECPR who were eventually matched. The ECPR group had significantly higher survival rates at discharge or 30-day survival (21.21% vs. 7.58%, p = 0.048). The ECPR group had significantly lower mortality rates (hazard ratio 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38-0.91) than the CCPR group at discharge or 30 days. Besides the BASIC-IHCA study, the volume of ECPR implementations and the survival rate of patients with ECPR (29.4% vs. 10.4%. p = 0.004) in participating hospitals significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS ECPR may be beneficial compared with CCPR for patient survival after IHCA and should be considered for eligible patients with IHCA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence suggests that Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) can improve survival rates for nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, when ECPR is indicated over 50% of potential candidates are unable to qualify in the current hospital-based system due to geographic limitations. This study employs a Geographic Information System (GIS) model to estimate the number of ECPR eligible patients within the United States in the current hospital-based system, a prehospital ECPR ground-based system, and a prehospital ECPR Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS)-based system. METHODS We constructed a GIS model to estimate ground and helicopter transport times. Time-dependent rates of ECPR eligibility were derived from the Resuscitation Outcome Consortium (ROC) database, while the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) registry determined the number of OHCA patients meeting ECPR criteria within designated transportation times. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response time, ECPR candidacy determination time, and on-scene time were modeled based on data from the EROCA trial. The combined model was used to estimate the total ECPR eligibility in each system. RESULTS The CARES registry recorded 736,066 OHCA patients from 2013 to 2021. After applying clinical criteria, 24,661 (3.4%) ECPR-indicated OHCA were identified. When considering overall ECPR eligibility within 45 min from OHCA to initiation, only 11.76% of OHCA where ECPR was indicated were eligible in the current hospital-based system. The prehospital ECPR HEMS-based system exhibited a four-fold increase in ECPR eligibility (49.3%), while the prehospital ground-based system showed a more than two-fold increase (28.4%). CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrates a two-fold increase in ECPR eligibility for a prehospital ECPR ground-based system and a four-fold increase for a prehospital ECPR HEMS-based system compared to the current hospital-based ECPR system. This novel GIS model can inform future ECPR implementation strategies, optimizing systems of care.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged in the context of the emergency department as a life-saving therapy for patients with refractory cardiac arrest. This review examines the utility of ECPR based on current evidence gleaned from three pivotal trials: the ARREST trial, the Prague study, and the INCEPTION trial. We also discuss several considerations in the care of these complex patients, including prehospital strategy, patient selection, and postcardiac arrest management. Collectively, the evidence from these trials emphasizes the growing significance of ECPR as a viable intervention, highlighting its potential for improved outcomes and survival rates in patients with refractory cardiac arrest when employed judiciously. As such, these findings advocate the need for further research and protocol development to optimize its use in diverse clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Introduction Failure to restore spontaneous circulation remains a major cause of death for cardiac arrest (CA) patients. Mechanical circulatory support, specifically extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), has emerged as a feasible and efficacious rescue strategy for selected refractory CA patients. Methods Mechanical Circulatory Support was one of six focus topics for the Wolf Creek XVII Conference held on June 14-17, 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. Conference invitees included international thought leaders and scientists in the field of CA resuscitation from academia and industry. Participants submitted via online survey knowledge gaps, barriers to translation and research priorities for each focus topic. Expert panels used the survey results and their own perspectives and insights to create and present a preliminary unranked list for each category that was debated, revised and ranked by all attendees to identify the top 5 for each category. Results Top 5 knowledge gaps included optimal patient selection, pre-ECPR treatments, logistical and programmatic characteristics of ECPR programs, generalizability and effectiveness of ECPR, and prevention of reperfusion injury. Top 5 barriers to translation included cost/resource limitations, technical challenges, collaboration across multiple disciplines, limited patient population, and early identification of eligible patients. Top 5 research priorities focused on comparing the outcomes of prehospital/rapid transport strategies vs in-hospital ECPR initiation, implementation of high-performing ECPR system vs standard care, rapid patient identification tools vs standard clinical judgment, post-cardiac arrest bundled care vs no bundled care, and standardized ECPR clinical protocol vs routine care. Conclusion This overview can serve as an innovative guide to transform the care and outcome of patients with refractory CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), has demonstrated promise in the management of refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, evidence from observational studies and clinical trials are conflicting and the factors influencing outcome have not been well established. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis summarizing the association between pre-ECPR prognostic factors and likelihood of good functional outcome among adult patients requiring ECPR for OHCA. We searched Medline and Embase databases from inception to February 28, 2023 and screened studies with two independent reviewers. We performed meta-analyses of unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios, adjusted hazard ratios and mean differences separately. We assessed risk of bias using the QUIPS tool and certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. FINDINGS We included 29 observational and randomized studies involving 7,397 patients. Factors with moderate or high certainty of association with increased survival with favourable functional outcome include pre-arrest patient factors, such as younger age (odds ratio (OR) 2.13, 95% CI 1.52 to 2.99) and female sex (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.70), as well as intra-arrest factors, such as shockable rhythm (OR 2.79, 95% CI 2.04 to 3.80), witnessed arrest (OR 1.68 (95% CI 1.16 to 2.42), bystander CPR (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.01), return of spontaneous circulation (OR 2.81, 95% CI 2.19 to 3.61) and shorter time to cannulation (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.69 per 10 minutes). INTERPRETATION The findings of this review confirm several clinical concepts wellestablished in the cardiac arrest literature and their applicability to the patient for whom ECPR is considered - that is, the impact of pre-existing patient factors, the benefit of timely and effective CPR, as well as the prognostic importance of minimizing low-flow time. We advocate for the thoughtful consideration of these prognostic factors as part of a risk stratification framework when evaluating a patient's potential candidacy for ECPR.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a critical condition of low cardiac output resulting in insufficient systemic perfusion and end-organ dysfunction. Though significant advances have been achieved in reperfusion therapy and mechanical circulatory support, cardiogenic shock continues to be a life-threatening condition associated with a high rate of complications and excessively high patient mortality, reported to be between 35% and 50%. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can provide full cardiopulmonary support, has been increasingly used in the last two decades, and can be used to restore systemic end-organ hypoperfusion. However, a paucity of randomized controlled trials in combination with high complication and mortality rates suggest the need for more research to better define its efficacy, safety, and optimal patient selection. In this review, we provide an updated review on VA-ECMO, with an emphasis on its application in cardiogenic shock, including indications and contraindications, expected hemodynamic and echocardiographic findings, recommendations for weaning, complications, and outcomes. Furthermore, specific emphasis will be devoted to the two published randomized controlled trials recently presented in this setting.

Abstract
According to the latest international resuscitation guidelines, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) involves the utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in specific patients experiencing cardiac arrest, and it can be considered in situations where standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts fail if they have a potentially reversible underlying cause, among which we can also find hypothermia. In cases of cardiac arrest, both witnessed and unwitnessed, hypothermic patients have higher chances of survival and favorable neurological outcomes compared to normothermic patients. ECPR is a multifaceted procedure that requires a proficient team, specialized equipment, and comprehensive multidisciplinary support within a healthcare system. However, it also carries the risk of severe, life-threatening complications. With the increasing use of ECPR in recent years and the growing number of centers implementing this technique outside the intensive care units, significant uncertainties persist in both prehospital and emergency department (ED) settings. Proper organization is crucial for an ECPR program in emergency settings, especially given the challenges and complexities of these treatments, which were previously not commonly used in ED. Therefore, within a narrative review, we have incorporated the initial case of ECPR in an ED in Romania, featuring a successful resuscitation in the context of severe hypothermia (20 °C) and a favorable neurological outcome (CPC score of 1).

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation dissemination and integration with organ preservation in the USA: ethical and logistical considerations. Crit Care 2023; 27:144.

Abstract
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, termed eCPR, offers the prospect of improving survival with good neurological function after cardiac arrest. After death, ECMO can also be used for enhanced preservation of abdominal and thoracic organs, designated normothermic regional perfusion (NRP), before organ recovery for transplantation. To optimize resuscitation and transplantation outcomes, healthcare networks in Portugal and Italy have developed cardiac arrest protocols that integrate use of eCPR with NRP. Similar dissemination of eCPR and its integration with NRP in the USA raise novel ethical issues due to a non-nationalized health system and an opt-in framework for organ donation, as well as other legal and cultural factors. Nonetheless, eCPR investigations are ongoing, and both eCPR and NRP are selectively employed in clinical practice. This paper delineates the most pressing relevant ethical considerations and proposes recommendations for implementation of protocols that aim to promote public trust and reduce conflicts of interest. Transparent policies should rely on protocols that separate lifesaving from organ preservation considerations; robust, centralized eCPR data to inform equitable and evidence-based allocations; uniform practices concerning clinical decision-making and resource utilization; and partnership with community stakeholders, allowing patients to make decisions about emergency care that align with their values. Proactively addressing these ethical and logistical challenges could enable eCPR dissemination and integration with NRP protocols in the USA, with the potential to maximize lives saved through both improved resuscitation with good neurological outcomes and increased organ donation opportunities when resuscitation is unsuccessful or not in accordance with individuals' wishes.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1146570. [PMID: 37007790 PMCID: PMC10060512 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1146570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BackgroundApplying Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to patients with acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) reduces their mortality. The survival rate is 55.6-71.9% for adult AFM patients, which is lower than that for paediatric patients (63-81%). In our centre, the survival rate of ECMO for adult patients with AFM was 66.7% from January 2003 to 2012. In January 2013, the therapeutic regimen was optimised, and then the survival rate increased to 89.1% by January 2022. This article analyses the reasons for the improved survival rate following the optimisation of treatment protocols.MethodsThe data for adult patients with AFM who underwent ECMO for a poor response conventional treatment from January 2003 to January 2022 were reviewed. According to different treatment regimens, the AFM patients were divided into an old and a new regimen group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on the data before and after ECMO.ResultsFifty-five patients were enrolled in the age (31.2 ± 11.3), including 24 males. Forty-nine patients were weaned successfully from ECMO [duration: (4.1 ± 1.8) d], all of whom were discharged from the hospital, with a survival rate of 89.1%. Compared with the old regimen group, the new regimen group had a shorter duration of shock to ECMO, a lower proportion of patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), a lower Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS), and lower levels of lactic acid, and high-sensitivity troponin T before ECMO (p < 0.05). Compared with the old regimen group, after ECMO, the new regimen group had lower ECMO flow, lower proportion of left ventricular dilation and lower limb ischemia injury, the duration of ECMO was shorter, and significantly improved the survival rate, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The duration of shock to ECMO and VIS before ECMO were independent risk factors for the survival rate (p < 0.05).ConclusionEarly ECMO initiation in adult AFM patients with a poor response to conventional therapy and low-flow ECMO to meet metabolic needs can reduce serious complications affecting the prognosis, may be associated with better outcomes.

Abstract
Background Left atrial (LA) decompression on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can reduce left ventricular distension, allowing myocardial rest and recovery, and protect from lung injury secondary to cardiogenic pulmonary edema. However, clinical benefits remain unknown. We sought to evaluate the association between LA decompression and in-hospital adverse outcome (mortality, transplant on ECMO, or conversion to ventricular assist device) in patients who failed to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass using a propensity score to adjust for baseline differences. Methods and Results Children (aged <18 years) with biventricular physiology supported with ECMO for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass after cardiac surgery from 2000 through 2016, reported to the ELSO (Extracorporeal Life Support Organization) Registry, were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighted logistic regression was used to test the association between LA decompression and in-hospital adverse outcomes. Of the 2915 patients supported with venoarterial ECMO for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, 1508 had biventricular physiology and 279 (18%) underwent LA decompression (LA+). Genetic and congenital abnormalities (P=0.001) and pulmonary hypertension (P=0.010) were less frequent and baseline arrhythmias (P=0.022) were more frequent in LA+ patients. LA+ patients had longer pre-ECMO mechanical ventilation and CBP time (P<0.001), and used aortic cross-clamp (P=0.001) more frequently. Covariates were well balanced between the propensity-weighted cohorts. In-hospital adverse outcomes occurred in 47% of LA+ patients and 51% of the others. Weighted multivariate logistic regression showed LA decompression to be protective for in-hospital adverse outcomes (adjusted odds ratio, 0.775 [95% CI, 0.644-0.932]). Conclusions LA decompression independently decreased the risk of in-hospital adverse outcome in pediatric venoarterial ECMO patients who failed to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, suggesting that these patients may benefit from LA decompression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize practices surrounding pediatric eCPR in the U.S. and Canada. METHODS Cross-sectional survey of U.S. and Canadian hospitals with non-cardiac eCPR programs. Variables included hospital and surgical group demographics, eCPR inclusion/exclusion criteria, cannulation approaches, and outcomes (survival to decannulation and survival to discharge). RESULTS Surveys were completed by 40 hospitals in the United States (37) and Canada (3) among an estimated 49 programs (82% response rate). Respondents tended to work in >200 bed free-standing children's hospitals (27, 68%). Pediatric general surgeons respond to activations in 32 (80%) cases, with a median group size of 7 (IQR 5,9.5); 8 (20%) responding institutions take in-house call and 63% have a formal back-up system for eCPR. Dedicated simulation programs were reported by 22 (55%) respondents. Annual eCPR activations average approximately 6/year; approximately 39% of patients survived to decannulation, with 35% surviving to discharge. Cannulations occurred in a variety of settings and were mostly done through the neck at the purview of cannulating surgeon/proceduralist. Exclusion criteria used by hospitals included pre-hospital arrest (21, 53%), COVID+ (5, 13%), prolonged CPR (18, 45%), lethal chromosomal anomalies (15, 38%) and terminal underlying disease (14, 35%). CONCLUSIONS While there are some similarities regarding inclusion/exclusion criteria, cannulation location and modality and follow-up in pediatric eCPR, these are not standard across multiple institutions. Survival to discharge after eCPR is modest but data on cost and long-term neurologic sequela are lacking. Codification of indications and surgical approaches may help clarify the utility and success of eCPR.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an adjunct supportive therapy to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) employing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of refractory cardiac arrest. Its use has seen a significant increase in the past decade, providing hope for good functional recovery to patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation maneuvers. This review paper aims to summarize key findings from the ECPR literature available to date as well as the recommendations for ECPR set forth by leading national and international resuscitation societies. Additionally, we describe the successful pediatric ECPR program at Texas Children's Hospital, highlighting the logistical, technical and educational features of the program.

Abstract
The time between onset of cardiogenic shock and initiation of mechanical circulatory support is inversely related to patient survival as delays in transporting patients to the operating room (OR) for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) could prove fatal. A primed and portable VA ECMO system may allow faster initiation of ECMO in various hospital locations and subsequently improve outcomes for patients in cardiogenic shock. We reviewed our institutional experience with VA ECMO based on two time periods: beginning of our VA ECMO program and from initiation of our primed and portable in-hospital ECMO system. The primary endpoint was patient survival to discharge. A total of 137 patients were placed on VA ECMO during the study period; n = 66 (48%) before and n = 71 (52%) after program initiation. In the second era, the proportion of OR ECMO initiation decreased significantly (from 92% to 49%, p < 0.01) as more patients received ECMO in other hospital units, including the emergency department (p < 0.01) and during cardiac arrest (12% vs. 38%, p < 0.01). Survival to hospital discharge was equivalent between the two groups (30% vs. 42%, p = 0.1) despite more patients being placed on ECMO during ongoing cardiac arrest. Finally, we observed increased clinical volume since initiation of the in-hospital, portable ECMO system. Developing an in-hospital, primed and portable VA ECMO program resulted in increased clinical volume with equivalent patient survival despite a sicker cohort of patients. We conclude that more rapid deployment of VA ECMO may extend the treatment eligibility to more patients and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a viable salvage intervention for patients who experience cardiopulmonary arrest or profound shock from any cause. Acute anaphylactic shock is a rare cause of cardiac arrest. We present a case of a 35-year-old male who experienced cardiac arrest owing to anaphylactic shock while receiving general anesthesia for a routine outpatient surgical procedure. Traditional advanced cardiac life support therapies were provided by paramedics en route to the emergency department of a suburban, community-based hospital. Maximal medical management including endotracheal intubation, intravenous steroids, intravenous crystalloid fluid administration, intravenous vasoactive medications, and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation was provided. Although return of spontaneous circulation was achieved, profound cardiogenic shock persisted. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was initiated by the emergency department provider and nursing team. The patient survived, was neurologically intact, had full recovery, and was discharged home several days later. We have extensive experience with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and this case exemplifies the value of an established emergency department extracorporeal membrane oxygenation program in managing all causes of cardiac arrest or refractory shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been increasing rapidly worldwide. However, guidelines or clinical studies do not provide sufficient data on ECPR practice. The aim of this study was to provide real-world data on ECPR for patients with OHCA, including details of complications. METHODS We did a retrospective database analysis of observational multicenter cohort study in Japan. Adult patients with OHCA of presumed cardiac etiology who received ECPR between 2013 and 2018 were included. The primary outcome was favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a cerebral performance category of 1 or 2. RESULTS A total of 1644 patients with OHCA were included in this study. The patient age was 18-93 years (median: 60 years). Shockable rhythm in the initial cardiac rhythm at the scene was 69.4%. The median estimated low flow time was 55 min (interquartile range: 45-66 min). Favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge was observed in 14.1% of patients, and the rate of survival to hospital discharge was 27.2%. The proportions of favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge in terms of shockable rhythm, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole were 16.7%, 9.2%, and 3.9%, respectively. Complications were observed during ECPR in 32.7% of patients, and the most common complication was bleeding, with the rates of cannulation site bleeding and other types of hemorrhage at 16.4% and 8.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort, data on the ECPR of 1644 patients with OHCA show that the proportion of favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge was 14.1%, survival rate at hospital discharge was 27.2%, and complications were observed during ECPR in 32.7%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop and validate a score to accurately predict the probability of death for adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). BACKGROUND ECPR is being increasingly used to treat refractory in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), but survival varies from 20% to 40%. METHODS Adult patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for IHCA (ECPR) were identified from the American Heart Association GWTG-R (Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation) registry. A multivariate survival prediction model and score were developed to predict hospital death. Findings were externally validated in a separate cohort of patients from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry who underwent ECPR for IHCA. RESULTS A total of 1,075 patients treated with ECPR were included. Twenty-eight percent survived to discharge in both the derivation and validation cohorts. A total of 6 variables were associated with in-hospital death: age, time of day, initial rhythm, history of renal insufficiency, patient type (cardiac vs noncardiac and medical vs surgical), and duration of the cardiac arrest event, which were combined into the RESCUE-IHCA (Resuscitation Using ECPR During IHCA) score. The model had good discrimination (area under the curve: 0.719; 95% CI: 0.680-0.757) and acceptable calibration (Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit P = 0.079). Discrimination was fair in the external validation cohort (area under the curve: 0.676; 95% CI: 0.606-0.746) with good calibration (P = 0.66), demonstrating the model's ability to predict in-hospital death across a wide range of probabilities. CONCLUSIONS The RESCUE-IHCA score can be used by clinicians in real time to predict in-hospital death among patients with IHCA who are treated with ECPR.

Abstract
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 a modality to improve prognosis by augmenting perfusion to vital end-organs by utilizing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during conventional CPR and stabilizing the patient for interventions aimed at reversing the aetiology of the arrest. Implementing this emergent procedure requires a substantial investment in resources, and even the most successful ECPR programs may nonetheless burden healthcare systems, clinicians, patients, and their families with unsalvageable patients supported by extracorporeal devices. Non-randomized and observational studies have repeatedly shown an association between ECPR and improved survival, versus conventional CPR, for in-hospital cardiac arrest in select patient populations. Recently, randomized controlled trials suggest benefit for ECPR over standard resuscitation, as well as the feasibility of performing such trials, in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest within highly coordinated healthcare delivery systems. Application of these data to clinical practice should be done cautiously, with outcomes likely to vary by the setting and system within which ECPR is initiated. ECPR introduces important ethical challenges, including whether it should be considered an extension of CPR, at what point it becomes sustained organ replacement therapy, and how to approach patients unable to recover or be bridged to heart replacement therapy. The economic impact of ECPR varies by health system, and has the potential to outstrip resources if used indiscriminately. Ideally, studies should include economic evaluations to inform health care systems about the cost-benefits of this therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To define the role of the intensivist in the initiation and management of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. DESIGN Retrospective review of the literature and expert consensus. SETTING Series of in-person meetings, conference calls, and emails from January 2018 to March 2019. SUBJECTS A multidisciplinary, expert Task Force was appointed and assembled by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. Experts were identified by their respective societies based on reputation, experience, and contribution to the field. INTERVENTIONS A MEDLINE search was performed and all members of the Task Force reviewed relevant references, summarizing high-quality evidence when available. Consensus was obtained using a modified Delphi process, with agreement determined by voting using the RAND/UCLA scale, with score ranging from 1 to 9. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The Task Force developed 18 strong and five weak recommendations in five topic areas of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation and management. These recommendations were organized into five areas related to the care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: patient selection, management, mitigation of complications, coordination of multidisciplinary care, and communication with surrogate decision-makers. A common theme of the recommendations is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is best performed by a multidisciplinary team, which intensivists are positioned to engage and lead. CONCLUSIONS The role of the intensivist in the care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation continues to evolve and grow, especially when knowledge and familiarity of the issues surrounding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation selection, cannulation, and management are applied.

Variability of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation practice in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from the emergency department to intensive care unit in Japan.

[PMID: 33968411 PMCID: PMC8088390 DOI: 10.1002/ams2.647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim A lack of known guidelines for the provision of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) to patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has led to variability in practice between hospitals even in the same country. Because variability in ECPR practice has not been completely examined, we aimed to describe the variability in ECPR practice in patients with OHCA from the emergency department (ED) to the intensive care units (ICU). Methods An anonymous online questionnaire to examine variability in ECPR practice was completed in January 2020 by 36 medical institutions who participated in the SAVE‐J II study. Institutional demographics, inclusion and exclusion criteria, initial resuscitation management, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation, initial ECMO management, intra‐aortic balloon pumping/endotracheal intubation/management during coronary angiography, and computed tomography criteria were recorded. Results We received responses from all 36 institutions. Four institutions (11.1%) had a hybrid emergency room. Cardiovascular surgery was always involved throughout the entire ECMO process in only 14.7% of institutions; 60% of institutions had formal inclusion criteria and 50% had formal exclusion criteria. In two‐thirds of institutions, emergency physicians carried out cannulation. Catheterization room was the leading location of cannulation (48.6%) followed by ED (31.4%). The presence of formal exclusion criteria significantly increased with increasing ECPR volume (P for trend <0.001). Intra‐aortic balloon pumping was routinely initiated in only 25% of institutions. Computed tomography was routinely carried out before coronary angiography in 25% of institutions. Conclusions We described the variability in ECPR practice in patients with OHCA from the ED to the ICU.

Abstract
The high incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest refractory to standard resuscitation protocols, despite precompetitive screening, demonstrated the need for a prehospital team to provide an effective system for life support and resuscitation at the Volleyball Men's World Championship. The evolution of mechanical circulatory support suggests that current advanced cardiovascular life support protocols no longer represent the highest standard of care at competitive sporting events with large spectator numbers. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) improves resuscitation strategies and offers a rescue therapy for refractory cardiac arrest that can no longer be ignored. We present our operational experience of an out-of-hospital ECLS cardiopulmonary resuscitation team at an international sporting event.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients eligible for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in Saskatchewan and their clinical outcomes, including survival and neurological outcomes at discharge. ECPR eligibility was assessed, using clinical criteria from the University of British Columbia (UBC, Canada), University of Michigan (UM, United States), University of California (UC, United States) and a restrictive ECPR criteria. Results We performed a retrospective cohort study of 200 OHCA patients (August 1, 2017-May 31, 2019) in Regina, Saskatchewan. Sixty-one (30%) were female, the median age was 64 years (interquartile range [IQR], 52–78), the median CPR duration was 30 min (IQR 12–47), and 20% survived to discharge. Two (1%) patients received ECPR but did not meet any ECPR criteria. Nineteen (10%), thirty (15%), twenty-two (11%), and seven (4%) patients were ECPR-eligible, using the UBC, UM, UC, and restrictive criteria. However, none of these patients had received ECPR. Only two (11%), two (7%), two (9%), and one (14%) of these patient(s) survived to discharge, respectively. Neurological outcomes were unfavourable among all ECPR-eligible patients. Future study at our centre will be necessary on how to implement ECPR program to further improve these outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a therapeutic option for refractory cardiac arrest. We sought to perform an environmental scan to describe ECPR utilization in Canada and perceived barriers for application to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS This was a national cross-sectional study. We identified all cardiovascular surgery- and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-capable hospitals in Canada and emergency medical services (EMS) agencies delivering patients to those centres. We requested the medical lead from each hospital's ECMO service and each EMS agency to submit data regarding ECMO and ECPR utilization, as well as perceived barriers to ECPR provision for OHCA. RESULTS We identified and received survey data from 39 of 39 Canadian hospital institutions and 21 of 22 EMS agencies. Of hospitals, 38 (97%) perform ECMO and 27 (69%) perform ECPR (74% of which perform ≤5 cases per year). Of the 18 (46%) sites offering ECPR for OHCA, 8 apply a formal protocol for eligibility and initiation procedures. EMS agencies demonstrate heterogeneity with intra-arrest transport practices. The primary rationale for nontransport of refractory OHCA is that hospital-based care offers no additional therapies. Perceived barriers to the use of ECPR for OHCA were primarily related to limited evidence supporting its use, rather than resources required. CONCLUSION Many Canadian cardiovascular surgery- or ECMO-equipped hospitals use ECPR; roughly half employ ECPR for OHCAs. Low case volumes and few formal protocols indicate that this is not a standardized therapy option in most centres. Increased application may be dependent on a stronger evidence base including data from randomized clinical trials currently underway.

Abstract
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven to support in lifesaving rescue therapy. The best outcomes can be achieved in high-volume ECMO centers with dedicated emergency transport teams. Aim The aim of this study was to analyze the safety of ECMO support during medical transfer on the basis of our experience developed on innovation cooperation and review of literature. Methods A retrospective analysis of our experience of all ECMO-supported patients transferred from regional hospital of the referential ECMO center between 2015 and 2020 was carried out. Special attention was paid to transportation-related mortality and morbidity. Moreover, a systematic review of the Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases was performed. It included the original papers published before the end of 2019. Results Twelve (5 women and 7 men) critically ill ECMO-supported patients with the median age of 33 years (2-63 years) were transferred to our ECMO center. In 92% (n = 11) of the cases venovenous and in 1 case, venoarterial supports were applied. The median transfer length was 45 km (5-200). There was no mortality during transfer and no serious adverse events occurred. Of note, the first ECMO-supported transfer had been proceeded by high-fidelity simulations. For our systematic review, 68 articles were found and 22 of them satisfied the search criteria. A total number of 2647 transfers were reported, mainly primary (90%) and as ground transportations (91.6%). A rate of adverse events ranged from 1% through 20% but notably only major complications were mentioned. The 4 deaths occurred during transport (mortality 0.15%). Conclusions Our experiences and literature review showed that transportation for ECMO patients done by experienced staff was associated with low mortality rate but life-threatening adverse events might occur. Translational simulation is an excellent probing technique to improve transportation safety.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a frequent cause of death and a major public health issue. To date, conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the only efficient method of resuscitation available that positively impacts prognosis. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex and costly technique that requires technical expertise. It is not considered standard of care in all hospitals and should be applied only in high-volume facilities. ECMO combined with CPR is known as ECPR (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and permits hemodynamic and respiratory stabilization of patients with CA refractory to conventional CPR. This technique allows the parallel treatment of the underlying etiology of CA while maintaining organ perfusion. However, current evidence does not support the routine use of ECPR in all patients with refractory CA. Therefore, an appropriate selection of patients who may benefit from this procedure is key. Reducing the duration of low blood flow by means of performing high-quality CPR and promoting access to ECPR, may improve the survival rate of the patients presenting with refractory CA. Indeed, patients who benefit from ECPR seem to carry better neurological outcomes. The aim of this present narrative review is to present the most recent literature available on ECPR and to clarify its potential therapeutic role, as well as to provide an in-depth explanation of equipment and its set up, the patient selection process, and the patient management post-ECPR.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Einleitung Das Klinikum Weiden ist das größte Klinikum der nördlichen Oberpfalz (Einzugsgebiet 250 000 Einwohnern auf 5300 km2) und Primärversorger für Patienten im Schockgeschehen (WHIN: Weidener Herzinfarktnetz). Es werden 2 Herzkatheterlabore (24/7-Bereitschaft) und 1 Extrakorporales Life-Support System (ECMO Cardiohelp, Maquet) vorgehalten. Das Ziel dieser retrospektiven Studie war es, Indikation und Outcome nach ECLS-Implantation zu analysieren.
Methoden Im Zeitraum vom 01.01.2008 bis zum 31.12.2017 wurde im Klinikum Weiden an 91 Patienten (68 ♂, 23 ♀; 64 ± 13 Jahren) ein ECLS implantiert. 64% des Gesamt-Patientenkollektivs wurden notfallmäßig vorstellig, die restlichen Patienten erhielten eine ECMO supportiv aufgrund einer High-Risk PTCA. 37 Patienten wurden vor Systemimplantation reanimiert, 17 mit einem mechanischen Thoraxkompressionsgerät (LUCAS). Die folgenden Scoring-Systeme wurden verwendet, um die Schwere des Schocks zu bewerten: APACHE II, SOFA und SAPS II.
Ergebnisse Das Überleben (30 d/12 m) nach Systemexplantation betrug bei VA-ECMO 59% bzw. 49% und bei VV-ECMO 70% bzw. 70%. Die Mortalität war abhängig von der Anzahl der applizierten Katecholamine (KA), 45 (49%) Patienten erhielten mehrere KA (1-Jahres-Überleben: ohne KA 89%; 1 KA 55%; 2 KA 31%; 3 KA 30%). Weitere Einflussfaktoren auf die Mortalität waren eine Sepsis und eine Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung (CPR) vor Systemimplantation – die Länge der Reanimation, kombiniert externe und interne Reanimation und LUCAS-CPR verschlechterten das Outcome.
Diskussion Bei Patienten im Schockgeschehen, die nach medikamentöser Maximaltherapie weiterhin hämodynamisch und/oder respiratorisch instabil bleiben, kann durch die Implantation eines ECLS das Schockgeschehen durchbrochen werden. Ein primär versorgendes Klinikum kann mit ECMO eine Therapieoption mit vertretbaren Risiken und nachweislichem Nutzen – wenigstens in kleiner Fallzahl belegt – anbieten und Patienten können davon profitieren. So kann es für Landkreise mit größerer Fahrzeit zu einem Klinikum der Maximalversorgung eine in Teilen maximalmedizinische Therapieoption bieten.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 640,000 combined in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States. However, survival rates and meaningful neurologic recovery remain poor. Although "shockable" rhythms (i.e., ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)) have the best outcomes, many of these ventricular dysrhythmias fail to return to a perfusing rhythm (resistant VF/VT), or recur shortly after they are resolved (recurrent VF/VT). OBJECTIVE This review discusses 4 emerging therapies in the emergency department for treating these resistant or recurrent ventricular dysrhythmias: beta-blocker therapy, dual simultaneous external defibrillation, stellate ganglion blockade, and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We discuss the underlying physiology of each therapy, review relevant literature, describe when these approaches should be considered, and provide evidence-based recommendations for these techniques. DISCUSSION Esmolol may mitigate some of epinephrine's negative effects when used during resuscitation, improving both postresuscitation cardiac function and long-term survival. Dual simultaneous external defibrillation targets the region of the heart where ventricular fibrillation typically resumes and may apply a more efficient defibrillation across the heart, leading to higher rates of successful defibrillation. Stellate ganglion blocks, recently described in the emergency medicine literature, have been used to treat patients with recurrent VF/VT, resulting in significant dysrhythmia suppression. Finally, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is used to provide cardiopulmonary support while clinicians correct reversible causes of arrest, potentially resulting in improved survival and good neurologic functional outcomes. CONCLUSION These emerging therapies do not represent standard practice; however, they may be considered in the appropriate clinical scenario when standard therapies are exhausted without success.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging invasive rescue therapy for treatment of refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). We aim to describe the incidence of traumatic and hemorrhagic complications among patients undergoing ECPR for OHCA and examine the association between CPR duration and ECPR-related injuries or bleeding. METHODS We examined prospectively collected data from the Extracorporeal Resuscitation Outcomes Database (EROD), which includes ECPR-treated OHCAs from participating hospitals (October 2014 to August 2019). The primary outcome was traumatic or hemorrhagic complications, defined any of the following: pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, major bleeding, cannula site bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, thoracotomy, cardiac tamponade, aortic dissection, or vascular injury during hospitalization. The primary exposure was the cardiac arrest to ECPR initiation interval (CA-ECPR interval), measured as the time from arrest to initiation of ECPR. Descriptive statistics were used to compare demographic, cardiac arrest, and ECPR characteristics among patients with and without CPR-related traumatic or bleeding complications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between CA-ECPR interval and traumatic or bleeding complications. RESULTS A total of 68 patients from 4 hospitals receiving ECPR for OHCA were entered into EROD and met inclusion criteria. Median age was 51 (interquartile range 38-58), 81% were male, 40% had body mass index > 30, and 70% had pre-existing medical comorbidities. A total of 65% had an initial shockable cardiac rhythm, mechanical CPR was utilized in at least 29% of patients, and 27% were discharged alive. The median time from arrest to ECPR initiation was 73 min (IQR 60-104). A total of 37% experienced a traumatic or bleeding complication, with major bleeding (32%), vascular injury (18%), and cannula site bleeding (15%) being the most common. Compared to patients with shorter CPR times, patients with a longer CA-ECPR interval had 18% (95% confidence interval - 2-42%) higher odds of suffering a mechanical or bleeding complication, but this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS Traumatic injuries and bleeding complications are common among patients undergoing ECPR. Further study is needed to investigate the relation between arrest duration and complications. Clinicians performing ECPR should anticipate and assess for injuries and bleeding in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Objective Optimal management of out of hospital circulatory arrest (OHCA) remains challenging, in particular in patients who do not develop rapid return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) can be a life-saving bridging procedure. However its requirements and feasibility of implementation in patients with OHCA, appropriate inclusion criteria and achievable outcomes remain poorly defined. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary referral university hospital center. Patients Here we report on characteristics, course and outcomes on the first consecutive 254 patients admitted between August 2014 and December 2017. Intervention eCPR program for OHCA. Mesurements and main results A structured clinical pathway was designed and implemented as 24/7 eCPR service at the Charité in Berlin. In total, 254 patients were transferred with ongoing CPR, including automated chest compression, of which 30 showed or developed ROSC after admission. Following hospital admission predefined in- and exclusion criteria for eCPR were checked; in the remaining 224, 126 were considered as eligible for eCPR. State of the art postresuscitation therapy was applied and prognostication of neurological outcome was performed according to a standardized protocol. Eighteen patients survived, with a good neurological outcome (cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 or 2) in 15 patients. Compared to non-survivors survivors had significantly shorter time between collaps and start of eCPR (58 min (IQR 12–85) vs. 90 min (IQR 74–114), p = 0.01), lower lactate levels on admission (95 mg/dL (IQR 44–130) vs. 143 mg/dL (IQR 111–178), p < 0.05), and less severe acidosis on admission (pH 7.2 (IQR 7.15–7.4) vs. 7.0 (IQR6.9–7.2), p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis identified latency to eCPR and low pH as independent predictors for mortality. Conclusion An eCPR program can be life-saving for a subset of individuals with refractory circulatory arrest, with time to initiation of eCPR being a main determinant of survival.

Abstract
Background Refractory cardiac arrest resistant to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C-CPR) has a poor outcome. Although previous reports showed that extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) can improve the clinical outcome, there are no clinically applicable predictors of patient outcome that can be used prior to the implementation of E-CPR. We aimed to evaluate the use of clinical factors in patients with refractory cardiac arrest undergoing E-CPR to predict patient outcome in our institution. Methods This is a single-center retrospective study. We report 112 patients presenting with refractory cardiac arrest resistant to C-CPR between January 2012 and November 2017. All patients received E-CPR for continued life support when a cardiogenic etiology was presumed. Clinical factors associated with patient outcome were analyzed. Significant pre-ECMO clinical factors were extracted to build a patient outcome risk prediction model. Results The overall survival rate at discharge was 40.2, and 30.4% of patients were discharged with good neurologic function. The six-month survival rate after hospital discharge was 36.6, and 25.9% of patients had good neurologic function 6 months after discharge. We stratified the patients into low-risk (n = 38), medium-risk (n = 47), and high-risk groups (n = 27) according to the TLR score (low-flow Time, cardiac arrest Location, and initial cardiac arrest Rhythm) that we derived from pre-ECMO clinical parameters. Compared with the medium-risk and high-risk groups, the low-risk group had better survival at discharge (65.8% vs. 42.6% vs. 0%, p < 0.0001) and at 6 months (60.5% vs. 38.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.0001). The low-risk group also had a better neurologic outcome at discharge (50% vs. 31.9% vs. 0%, p = 0.0001) and 6 months after discharge (44.7% vs. 25.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.0003) than the medium-risk and high-risk groups. Conclusions Patients with refractory cardiac arrest receiving E-CPR can be stratified by pre-ECMO clinical factors to predict the clinical outcome. Larger-scale studies are required to validate our observations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes from extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) are felt to be influenced by selective use, but the characteristics of those receiving ECPR are undefined. We demonstrate the relationship between individual patient and hospital characteristics and the probability of ECPR use. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed an observational analysis of adult inpatient cardiac arrests in the United States from 2000 to 2018 reported to the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines—Resuscitation registry restricted to hospitals that provided ECPR. We calculated case mix adjusted relative risk (RR) of receiving ECPR for individual characteristics. From 2000 to 2018, 129 736 patients had a cardiac arrest (128 654 conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation and 1082 ECPR) in 224 hospitals that offered ECPR. ECPR use was associated with younger age (RR, 1.5 for <40 vs. 40–59 years; 95% CI, 1.2–1.8), no pre‐existing comorbidities (RR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1–1.8) or cardiac‐specific comorbidities (congestive heart failure [RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.2–1.5], prior myocardial infarction [RR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.2–1.6], or current myocardial infarction [RR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.3–1.8]), and in locations of procedural areas at the times of cardiac arrest (RR, 12.0; 95% CI, 9.5–15.1). ECPR decreased after hours (3–11 pm [RR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.7–1.0] and 11 pm–7 am [RR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.5–0.7]) and on weekends (RR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6–0.9). CONCLUSIONS Less than 1% of in‐hospital cardiac arrest patients are treated with ECPR. ECPR use is influenced by patient age, comorbidities, and hospital system factors. Randomized controlled trials are needed to better define the patients in whom ECPR may provide a benefit.

Abstract
Objective Ventricular unloading is associated with myocardial recovery. We sought to evaluate the association of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) on myocardial function after cardiac arrest. We conducted a retrospective exploratory analysis, comparing ejection fraction (EF) after adult cardiac arrest, between ECPR and conventional CPR. Results Among 1119 cases of cardiac arrest, 116 had an echocardiogram post-return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and were included. Thirty-eight patients had ≥ 2 echocardiograms. ECPR patients had differences in age, hypertension and chronic heart failure. ECPR patients had a lower EF post-ROSC (24% vs 45%; p < 0.01) and were more likely to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (25% vs 3%; p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, only ECPR use (β-coeff: 10.4 [95% CI 3.68–17.13]; p < 0.01) independently predicted improved myocardial function. In this exploratory study, EF after cardiac arrest may be more likely to improve among ECPR patients than CCPR patients. Our methodology should be replicated to confirm or refute the validity of our findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can treat cardiac arrest refractory to conventional therapies. Many institutions are interested in developing their own ECPR program. However, there may be challenges in logistics and implementation. AIMS The aim of our protocol was to demonstrate that an ECPR team was feasible within our healthcare system and that the identification of UPMC Presbyterian as a receiving center allowed for successful treatment within 30 min from EMS dispatch. METHODS We developed out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) ECPR protocols for Emergency Medical Services (EMS), EMS communications, and our in-hospital ECPR team. Inclusion criteria indentified patients with a potentially reversible arrest etiology and high probability of recoverable brain injury using a simple checklist: witnessed collapse, layperson CPR, initial shockable rhythm, and age 18-60 years. We trained local EMS crews to screen patients and reviewed the criteria with a Medic Command Physician prior to transport to our hospital. RESULTS From October 2015 to March 31st 2018, EMS treated 1165 EMS OHCA cases, transported 664 (57%) to a local hospital, and transported 120 (10%) to our institution. Of these, five (4.1%) patients underwent ECPR. Among excluded cases, 64 (53%) had nonshockable rhythms, 48 (40%) were unwitnessed arrests, 50 (42%) were over age 60 and the remaining 20 (17%) had no documented reasons for exclusion. For ECPR cases, median pre-hospital CPR duration was 26 [IQR 25-40] min. Four patients (80%) received mechanical CPR. Interval from arrest to arrival on scene was 5 [IQR 4-6] min and interval from radio call to activation of ECPR was 13 [IQR 7-21] min. Interval from EMS dispatch to departure from scene was 20 [IQR 19-21] min. Time from EMS dispatch to initiation of ECPR was 63 [IQR 59-69] min. CONCLUSIONS ECPR is an infrequent occurrence in EMS practice. Most apparently eligible patients did not get ECPR, highlighting the need for ongoing programmatic development, provider education, and qualitative work exploring barriers to implementation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (M-CPR) is increasingly used in the management of cardiac arrest. There are no previously reported randomised studies investigating M-CPR training. This study of newly trained M-CPR providers hypothesised that a brief simulation-based intervention after 4 months would improve M-CPR performance at 6 months. METHODS This study used a simulated 'in situ' cardiac arrest model. The M-CPR device used was a proprietary Lund University Cardiac Assist System 3 machine (Physio Control, Redmond, Washington, USA). Standardised baseline training was provided to all participants. Following training, baseline performance was assessed. The primary outcome measure was the time taken to initiate M-CPR and the secondary outcome was performance against a checklist of errors. Participants were then randomised to intervention group (simulation training) or control group (routine clinical use of M-CPR). After 6 months the outcome measures were reassessed. Comparative statistical tests used an intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS 112 participants were enrolled. The intervention group (n=60) and control group (n=52) had similar demographic characteristics. At the 6-month assessment, median time to M-CPR initiation was 27.0 s (IQR 22.0-31.0) in the intervention group and 31.0 s (IQR 25.6-46.0) in the control group (p=0.003). The intervention group demonstrated fewer errors compared with controls at 6 months (p<0.001) CONCLUSION: In this randomised study of approaches to M-CPR training, providers receiving additional simulation-based training had higher retention levels of M-CPR skills. Therefore, when resuscitation skills are newly learnt, provision follow-up training should be an important consideration.
