All patients were male with a median age of 61 years and received ECPR full flows at a mean of 47 min (range 37-59 min) from initial collapse after a median travel time to scene of 14 min (range 3-20 min). No patient met the primary outcome measure of being established on pre-hospital ECPR within 30 min of the call to the emergency services. Out of 5 patients, 3 patients had treatment withdrawn and 2 survived to hospital discharge (both CPC score 3 and modified Rankin Score (mRS) score 4 and 5 respectively).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Open-label, single-arm, feasibility, prospective study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Whilst our study did not meet primary outcome of achieving full ECPR flow within 30-minute of collapse, it demonstrated safe, timely and effective delivery of ECPR with comparable survival rates by pre-hospital teams in a large metropolitan city and this has potential to improve outcomes in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":21052,"journal":{"name":"Resuscitation","volume":" ","pages":"110455"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142792103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
