Summary

Sudden cardiac arrests is one of the most frequent causes of death. In Switzerland every year 8000-10.000 people suffer from a cardiac arrest. The EuReCa ONE Study showed regional differences in incidence and chances of survival after cardiac arrests in Europe. The current European Resuscitation Council (ERC) resuscitation guidelines 2015 recommend extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as treatment option for therapy refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). ECMO used under cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is called eCPR (extracorporeal CPR). In the year 2018 eCPR is started to be used in Bern, Switzerland. This study investigates retrospectively the survival and neurologic outcome of patients after OHCA in the region of Bern, Switzerland from 2015-2018. The data will be used as baseline for a prospective evaluation of eCPR cases.

The prospective Evaluation of e CPR will last from 2018 - 2022.
