Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Evaluating the impact of Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guideline adherence on favorable neurological outcomes among patients requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Authors' conclusion
Patients who adhered more closely to specific inclusion criteria of the ELSO guidelines demonstrated a tendency towards a higher rate of favorable neurological outcomes. However, the relationship was heterogeneous according to initial rhythm.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), 2019–2021of 9,909 patients
- Participants
- 227 adults
- Comparison
- Number of ELSO criteria met
- 0 pointsn = 3reference
- 1 pointn = 23
- 2 pointsn = 67
- 3 pointsn = 82
- 4 pointsn = 43
- Primary endpoint
- Favorable neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2)
- Follow-up
- 30 days
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Favorable neurological outcome by number of ELSO criteria met
Further findings
Favorable neurological outcome, initial shockable rhythm (subgroup)
- Similar tendency observed
Favorable neurological outcome, initial non-shockable rhythm (subgroup)
- No such relationship observed
