Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Resuscitation of patients with durable mechanical circulatory support with acutely altered perfusion or cardiac arrest: A scoping review
Authors' conclusion
There is a scarcity of evidence to inform the resuscitation of patients with durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) experiencing acute impairment in perfusion and cardiac arrest.
