To the believers, this has been a foregone conclusion. To the rest of the world, the question of whether ECPR improves cardiac arrest survivorship has been in question. Jan Belohlavek and his Prague colleagues just presented their 8 year data showing better outcomes in cardiac arrest patients that got a grouped therapy of early transport, prehospital targeted temperature management, mechanical chest compressions, and ECMO over those who got a traditional resuscitation. This study is key and contrasts to the Oslo study that we reviewed just a few months earlier. Jan speaks with Zack about the details of the results and what were the keys to their success.
