Establishing and Sustaining an ECPR Program
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018 The use of extracorporeal support after failed return of a spontaneous ciruculation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is well described. There are 4 distinct phases for resuscitation with ECPR and the time spent in each phase is critical for ...

The Pre-ECPR score for predicting favorable neurological outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: protocol for external validation in the Prague OHCA trial cohort [PDF]
Resuscitation PlusAim: No clear consensus exists for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) patient selection in refractory cardiac arrest. Evidence suggests that current binary criteria yield either low favorable outcome rates, when being liberal, or exclude

Immediate post-ECPR management strategies in the prehospital and critical care transport medicine environments [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency MedicineDespite advancements in care, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has a low survival rate. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has shown improved outcomes in select cases, notably in the ARREST trial.

Resuscitation, 2021 The design of emergency medicine trials can raise several ethical concerns - risks may be greater, and randomisation may have to occur before consent. Research in emergency medicine is thus an illuminating context to explore the interplay between risk and randomisation, and the consequences for consent.
