Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rescue therapy for selected patients when conventional (CPR) fails. Current evidence suggests that the success of eCPR depends on well-structured in- and out-of-hospital protocols. This article describes Vienna program, interventions implemented to improve clinical processes patient outcomes. In this retrospective study, we report all with inhospital cardiac arrest treated at our department between 2020 2023. During period, program was...
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) facilitates with immediate and precise temperature control. This study aimed to determine the optimal reperfusion minimize neurological damage after ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VFCA). Twenty-four rats were randomized (n = 8 per group) normothermia (NT 37°C), mild hypothermia (MH 33°C) or moderate (MOD 27°C). The subjected 10 minutes of VFCA, before 15 ECPR at their respective target temperature. After weaning, in MOD group...
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging strategy in highly selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Animal models can help to identify new therapeutic strategies improve neurological outcome and function after global ischemia CA. Aim of the study was establish a reproducible ECPR rat model ventricular fibrillation CA (VFCA) that leads consistent neuronal damage acceptable long-term survival rates, which be used for future research.Male Sprague Dawley...
