Prehospital ECPR in Moravia Silesia Region

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Cardiac Arrest, Out-Of-Hospital

In brief

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in specific cases could be improved by Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO; ECPR). ECPR could be introduced in hospital after retrieval of an OHCA patient and also faster by implantation on scene. The aim is to verify the effectiveness of ECPR on scene in the Moravian-Silesian region.
