Current situation and outlook of adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(ECPR),as an important treatment for patients with refractory cardiac arrest(CA), can improve the prognosis of patients with CA, which has developed rapidly in recent years;however, the development of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation technology is not balanced at home and abroad, and most medical institutions are still in the initial stage. ECPR requires multidisciplinary cooperation. With the development of ECPR technology, CA patients with pregnancy, trauma or aortic dissection can also get good prognosis by ECPR. ECPR for adults has good prospects.
