ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the multiple disciplinary model of emergent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiac arrest (CA) patients.Methods A retrospective investigation was done to analyze the general material,multiple disciplinary corporations,the complication and its treatment of patients who underwent emergent ECMO for non-surgery CA from January 2016 to August 2017.Results Three patients were all men with mean age 45.3 ± 20.3 years.Their mean cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration was 34 ± 10 min,and 2 patients returned to spontaneous circulation,yet hemodynamics instability.2 patients discharged with cerebral performance category 1-2,however the third died.3 cannulation of femoral artery and venous were all operated by cardiac surgery using surgical exposure via open cutdown.Mean duration of CA to ECMO pump-on was 132 ±93 min,while the mean duration of ECMO was 3 858 ± 1 092min.The implementation and maintenance of ECMO needed collaboration of emergent physicians,cardiovascular medicine and surgeon,anesthetists,nurses and so on.At the same time,incision site oozing blood,platelet counting decreasing,coagulopathy and other complications would occur,which needed interventional vascular surgeon and blood bank to participate in.Conclusions Emergent ECMO for CA patients need corporations of prehospital emergent medical system,emergent physicians,cardiovascular physicians and surgeons,anesthetists,perfusionists,blood bank and so on.Establishing coordination and cooperation model of multiple disciplinary quick response team with emergency department as the guide is the important guarantee for emergent department developing emergent extracorporeal resuscitation.
