Summary

The addition of an Extracorporeal-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) service to a region may improve the survival of young patients with sudden unexpected cardiac arrest.The primary aim of this study is to determine the benefit of the systematic integration of ECPR services into the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management algorithm. The investigators will compare the outcomes of ECPR-eligible patients in the intervention region, in comparison to patients meeting the same criteria in a comparable setting.

Conditions

  • Heart Arrest

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ECPR Protocol

The regional protocol is activated for eligible patients who remain pulseless after 3 cycles of resuscitation, and intubation. The hospital team is activated at this time, which includes the emergency department team, a perfusionist, and a cardiovascular surgeon. A mechanical CPR device (Lucas chest compression device) is applied at this time and the patient is transported to hospital. The goal times from first professional CPR to ECMO flows is \< 60 minutes, and from emergency department (ED) arrival to ECMO flows \< 30 minutes.
