Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest
Purpose of review Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a contemporary resuscitation approach that employs veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). This approach is increasingly used worldwide to mitigate the widespread hemodynamic and multiorgan dysfunction that accompanies cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT Background Distal transradial access (dTRA) has gained attention for its lower risk of vascular complications compared to conventional transradial access (TRA). However, its feasibility and safety in patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain uncertain.

Rewarming for accidental hypothermia in an urban medical center using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Although patients with acute coronary syndrome supported by veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) have a high risk of thrombosis and bleeding, antiplatelet pharmacology in this setting is not well defined. This prospective observational study investigated the population pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR ...

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: an algorithm based ECMO program can improve clinical outcomes. [PDF]
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in our institution resulted in near total mortality prior to the establishment of an algorithm-based program in July 2010. We hypothesized that an algorithm based ECMO program improves the outcome of

Successful resuscitation of an elderly man with deep accidental hypothermia using portable extracorporeal circulation in the emergency department: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Deep accidental hypothermia (body temperature below 28°C) is rare and has a high mortality rate. Successful resuscitation usually occurs in the young, but a prompt intervention using a portable extracorporeal cardiopulmonary circulation ...
