Name
Stay and Play vs. Load, Go, and ECMO: A New Era of CPR Management
Description
Historically, there were debates in the regarding when (and whether) to transport patients with ongoing CPR to a hospital or terminate resuscitation on scene. In the past 20 years, the evidence swung away from intra-arrest transport towards the delivery of high-performance CPR on scene. Recently, however, some systems have developed extracorporeal cardiopulmonary (ECPR) systems of care, where early transport is needed within 10-20 minutes of on-scene resuscitation to deliver patients to ECPR therapies. This session will describe the evidence for on-scene resuscitation, recent trials delivering patients to ECPR centers, and outline the pro's and con's of ECPR for patients in cardiac arrest.
