SCCM Resource Library-The Role of ECLS During and After Resuscitation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the role of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) during and after resuscitation, specifically referring to pediatric patients. They define ECLS, also known as ECMO, as a form of life support used in cardiac arrest cases where patients do not have return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). They explain that there are two scenarios: eCPR, where ECLS is initiated during ongoing CPR, and post-arrest ECLS, where ECLS is implemented after achieving ROSC. The speaker emphasizes the importance of patient selection and clear guidelines for eCPR. They also mention the need for a coordinated team and high-quality CPR during the resuscitation process. The goal of ECLS is to buy time for recovery, bridge to other interventions, or bridge to transplantation. The speaker provides survival rates for pediatric patients who undergo eCPR and post-arrest ECLS and highlights the need for further research in these areas. They conclude by mentioning future opportunities to improve CPR quality, post-arrest care guidelines, and patient selection in ECLS.

Fantastic! You've achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), but you're not done yet. How do you optimize post-resuscitative care to optimize outcomes for your patient?
