Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Low-flow time and outcomes in hypothermic cardiac arrest patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a secondary analysis of a multi-center retrospective cohort study
Authors' conclusion
OHCA patients with arrival body temperature < 32 °C who had received ECPR had relatively good survival outcomes regardless of low-flow time, in contrast to those of patients without AH.
Study context
- Population
- Adults (≥18 years) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the ED who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), Japan, January 2013–December 2018
- Participants
- 1,252 eligible patients
- Comparison
- Accidental hypothermia (AH) vs non-AH, association of low-flow time with outcomes
- AHn = 105
- non-AHn = 1,147reference
- Primary endpoint
- Survival to discharge
Methodological detailsmulticentre registry
- Multicentre registry
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- Significant interaction between low-flow time and AH in survival discharge rate
- P for interaction = 0.048
