A Suprainstitutional Network for Remote Extracorporeal Life Support: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
This study sought to evaluate patient outcome within the Düsseldorf Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) Network, a suprainstitutional network for rapid-response remote ECLS and to define survival-based predictors. ⋯ This study illustrates the implementation of a suprainstitutional ECLS Network. Further, our data suggest that mobile vaECMO is beneficial for a larger patient population than actually expected, especially regarding young patients presenting with prolonged CPR or patients regardless of age with no or short CPR.
