Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing a mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) team and optimizing patient transport logistics.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to improve neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases in the Moravian-Silesian Region. By analysing regional epidemiological and demographic data, the project aims to identify key factors for reducing the time from collapse to the initiation of ECMO and to support the development of effective protocols for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Conditions

• Cardiac Arrest With Successful Resuscitation
• Cardiac Arrest, Cause Unspecified

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)	Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (commonly known as ECPR) is a method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that passes the patient's blood through a machine in a process to oxygenate the blood supply.
