Emergency Total ECLS vs Standard ACLS With ECMO Bailout for Survival in Refractory OHCA

Sponsor: Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital

Summary

The goal of the clinical trial is to learn if early extracorporeal life support ( ECLS ) will save more out-of-hospital cardiac arrest ( OHCA ) patients with good neurological outcome. It will also learn if emergency ECLS is safe in the OHCA rescue. Researchers aim to investigate if emergency total ECLS is better than standard advanced cardiac life support ( ACLS ) first, followed by bailout ECMO if required, for survival with favorable neurological outcome in OHCA patients. Participants meeting criteria of OHCA with witness, bystander CPR, shockable initial rhythm with repeated defibrillation, and transport time less than 30 min will be compared between total ECLS versus standard ACLS first with bailout ECMO protocols. All participants will receive emergency interventional coronary revascularization , intensive care unit therapy , cardiac ward care and up to 180 days of clinical follow up after survival .
