On Scene ECPR in Ostrava
Sponsor: University Hospital Ostrava
Summary
On-scene extracorporeal pulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) seems to speed up the start of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and shorten low flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in case of refractory cardiac arrest. The primary goal is to verify the benefit of on-scene ECPR in terms of shortening the collapse-to-ECMO interval. The secondary goal is to compare outcomes in the on-scene ECPR group with hospital cannulation.
Official title: The Effectiveness of ECPR on the Scene and in Hospital for Out-of-hospital Cardi-ac Arrest (OHCA) in the Moravian-Silesian Region.

Prehospital ECMO cannulation on scene of cardiac arrest
ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a critical, advanced resuscitation technique using Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for patients in cardiac arrest where conventional CPR fails, functioning as a bridge to restore circulation and oxygenation by pumping and oxygenating blood outside the body before returning it.
