The Effectiveness of ECPR on the Scene and in Hospital for Out-of-hospital Cardi-ac Arrest (OHCA) in the Moravian-Silesian Region.
Status: Recruiting
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
On-scene extracorporeal pulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) seems to speed up the start of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and shorten low flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in case of refractory cardiac arrest. The primary goal is to verify the benefit of on-scene ECPR in terms of shortening the collapse-to-ECMO interval. The secondary goal is to compare outcomes in the on-scene ECPR group with hospital cannulation.

Treatments
Experimental: ECPR on scene
On-scene ECPR cannulation by mobile ECMO team according to protocol if the location of the arrest and circumstances appear to be suitable (distance from the ECMO centre, transport logistics, in an ambulance/at home, etc.)
Active_comparator: ECPR in hospital
Hospital ECPR cannulation at Emergency Department by ECMO team accord-ing to protocol if a on scene ECPR call-out was not indicated.
