Impact of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation on neurological outcomes in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
International Journal of Emergency Medicine 2023 Februrary 18
BACKGROUND: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) requires a large amount of economic and human resources. The presence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was focused on selecting appropriate V-A ECMO candidates.
RESULT: This study retrospectively enrolled 39 patients with V-A ECMO due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) between January 2010 and March 2019. The introduction criteria of V-A ECMO included the following: (1) < 75 years old, (2) CA on arrival, (3) < 40 min from CA to hospital arrival, (4) shockable rhythm, and (5) good activity of daily living (ADL). The prescribed introduction criteria were not met by 14 patients, but they were introduced to V-A ECMO at the discretion of their attending physicians and were also included in the analysis. Neurological prognosis at discharge was defined using The Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance and Overall Performance Categories of Brain Function (CPC). Patients were divided into good or poor neurological prognosis (CPC ≤ 2 or ≥ 3) groups (8 vs. 31 patients). The good prognosis group had a significantly larger number of patients who received bystander CPR (p = 0.04). The mean CPC at discharge was compared based on the combination with the presence of bystander CPR and all five original criteria. Patients who received bystander CPR and met all original five criteria showed significantly better CPC than patients who did not receive bystander CPR and did not meet some of the original five criteria (p = 0.046).
CONCLUSION: Considering the presence of bystander CPR help in selecting the appropriate candidate of V-A ECMO among out-of-hospital CA cases.
