English
Authors' recommendations:
No data comparing ECMO with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C-CPR) specific to heart failure patients were available. Limited evidence from a mixed population with a proportion of heart failure patients suggests better survival with ECMO compared with C-CPR, however results were not always statistically significant.Results of comparisons of ECMO with VAD were few and inconsistent and definite conclusions are not possible.One evidence-based guidance document, recommended that for adults with acute heart failure undergoing ECMO, the procedure should be undertaken by clinical teams with specific training and expertise in the procedure.
