Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in adults
Record ID 32013000135
English
Authors' recommendations:
Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest is defined as a sudden and unexpected cessation of cardiac mechanical activity characterized by loss of pulse. In the United States, approximately 382,800 people experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) each year. The chance of meaningful survival with intact neurological function after OHCA is highly dependent upon the rapid recovery of blood flow to vital organs, particularly the brain and heart. Standard treatment for OHCA is highquality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, rapid defibrillation, and transport to a hospital for definitive
treatment. The survival rate of these patients rapidly decreases with time and refractory cardiac arrest.
