[Recommendations for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) : Consensus statement of DGIIN, DGK, DGTHG, DGfK, DGNI, DGAI, DIVI and GRC]. Anaesthesist. 2018 Jul 16;: Authors: Michels G, Wengenmayer T, Hagl C, Dohmen C, Böttiger BW, Bauersachs J, Markewitz A, Bauer A, Gräsner JT, Pfister R, Ghanem A, Busch HJ, Kreimeier U, Beckmann A, Fischer M, Kill C, Janssens U, Kluge S, Born F, Hoffmeister HM, Preusch M, Boeken U, Riessen R, Thiele H Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may be considered as a rescue attempt for highly selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest and potentially reversible etiology. Currently there are no randomized, controlled studies on eCPR, and valid predictors of benefit and outcome which might guide the indication for eCPR are lacking. Currently selection criteria and procedures differ across hospitals and standardized algorithms are lacking. Based on expert opinion, the present consensus statement provides a proposal for a standardized treatment algorithm for eCPR. PMID: 30014276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
