ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the cornerstone intervention for cardiac arrest, with extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) demonstrating enhanced survival and neurologic outcomes in in-hospital cardiac arrest. This study explores the time interval between CPR initiation and the onset of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in ECPR recipients, investigating its impact on survival outcomes.METHODS:
This retrospective analysis included 1950 adults who received CPR at a single medical center between March 2019 and April 2023. Data from 198 adult patients who had ECMO inserted during CPR were analyzed. The interval from CPR initiation to ECMO initiation was quantified and categorized as ≤20, 20-40, and >40 min. Cox regression analysis assessed associations between CPR-to-ECMO time and short- and long-term mortalities.RESULTS:
Among the 198 patients who underwent ECPR, 116 (58.6%) experienced 30-day mortality. Initiation of ECMO within 20 min occurred in 46 (23.2%), whereas 74 (37.4%) had ECMO initiated after 40 min. Cox regression revealed a significant association between time from CPR to ECMO initiation and 30-day mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.20 in >40 min, HR 2.63 in 20-40 min, p = 0.006) and 6-month mortality (HR 1.81, in >40 min, HR 1.99 in 20-40 min, p = 0.021).CONCLUSIONS:
This study revealed that, in ECPR recipients, a shorter duration between CPR initiation and ECMO flow commencement is associated with improved short- and long-term patient prognoses. These findings emphasize the critical role of timely ECMO application in optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing ECPR.
