Multicenter Study Observational StudyExtraCorporeal life support for Cardiac ARrest in patients with post cardiac arrest syndrome: The ECCAR study.
Post cardiac arrest shock (PCAS) occurring after resuscitated cardiac arrest (CA) is a main cause of early death. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) could be useful pending recovery from myocardial failure. ⋯ ECLS, as a salvage therapy for PCAS, could be an acceptable alternative for highly-selected patients.
