Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Kidneys recovered from brain dead cardiac arrest patients resuscitated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) show similar one-year graft survival compared to other donors
Authors' conclusion
Organ transplantation from patients treated with ECPR after refractory OHCA showed one-year kidney graft survival rates comparable to those of patients not treated with ECPR.
