ECPR for Prolonged Pediatric Cardiac Arrest, an Autcome Without Major Neurological Compromise

Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs in 1-6% of pediatric ICU admissions, with survival rates improving from 9% to 35% over the past 25 years, partly due to the use of ECMO as a rescue strategy. A case is reported of a 4-month-old patient with ventricular and septal defects who underwent surgery, experienced complications leading to a prolonged cardiac arrest, and was successfully treated with ECMO.

Building an Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Program at a High-volume Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Center

The abstract discusses the establishment of an Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) program in a high-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center, emphasizing patient selection and outcome optimization. Despite lacking a 24/7 ECPR program, the center successfully evaluated and cannulated an in-hospital cardiac arrest patient during resuscitation, leading to survival, while an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patient, considered a poor candidate for ECPR, did not survive despite ECMO center resources.
