    ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients who fulfilled extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) selection criteria during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).DesignThis is a nested cohort study.SettingCode blue data were collected across seven hospitals in Australia between July 2017 and August 2018.ParticipantsParticipants who fulfilled E-CPR selection criteria during IHCA were included.Main Outcome MeasuresReturn of spontaneous circulation and survival and functional outcome at hospital discharge. Functional outcome was measured using the modified Rankin scale, with scores dichotomised into good and poor functional outcome.ResultsTwenty-three (23/144; 16%) patients fulfilled E-CPR selection criteria during IHCA, and 11/23 (47.8%) had a poor outcome. Patients with a poor outcome were more likely to have a non-shockable rhythm (81.8% vs. 16.7%; p = 0.002), and a longer duration of CPR (median 12.5 [5.5, 39.5] vs. 1.5 [0.3, 2.5] minutes; p < 0.001) compared to those with a good outcome. The majority of patients (18/19 [94.7%]) achieved sustained return of spontaneous circulation within 15 minutes of CPR. All five patients who had CPR >15 minutes had a poor outcome.ConclusionApproximately one in six IHCA patients fulfilled E-CPR selection criteria during IHCA, half of whom had a poor outcome. Non-shockable rhythm and longer duration of CPR were associated with poor outcome. Patients who had CPR for >15 minutes and a poor outcome may have benefited from E-CPR. The feasibility, effectiveness and risks of commencing E-CPR earlier in IHCA and among those with non-shockable rhythms requires further investigation.© 2023 The Authors.
