Con: Out-of-Hospital ECPR May Not Improve Survival

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the challenges and developments in using ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) for resuscitation, particularly for cardiac arrest patients. Several studies have shown mixed effectiveness of pre-hospital ECMO, prompting shifts towards forming resuscitation centers ready to implement ECMO quickly. Protocols are developing for candidates such as those with witnessed cardiac arrest and specific arrhythmias. He highlights new methods, including the use of head elevation and manual devices like ACD-ITD for better outcomes. The speaker emphasizes assembling protocols, training practitioners, and considering economic and logistical factors for successful execution.
