Cardiac Arrest Extra Corporeal Oxygenation Membrane

Refractory Cardiac Arrest Management With Veno-Arterial Extra Corporeal Oxygenation Membrane Registry

French guidelines for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consider Extra-Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) as one option in Refractory out-of hospital Cardiac Arrest (ROHCA) patients with a no-flow less than five minutes and absence of spontaneous circulation 30 minutes after initiation of advanced CPR. Duration of both pre-CPR arrest (no-flow) and of CPR (low-flow) have been systematically highlighted as crucial prognostic factors in all observational studies focused on ROHCA. In order to shorten the time to ECLS initiation, the most recent European Resuscitation Council guidelines recommend, in eligible ROHCA patients, a fast track access to ECLS implantation. CHRU Nancy elaborated an operational strategy which was designed to improve the enrolment of eligible ROHCA patients and to reduce the delay time between recognition and ECLS initiation. The objective of the present register was to assess prospectively the impact of this new operational strategy over a 5 years period.
