Background: According to our previous research in 2008, there was a significant difference in survival to discharge, 30-day survival, and 1-year survival between extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) in adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Results showed favoring ECPR over CCPR. Methods: We performed a single-center prospective observational study, analyzing outcomes of adult IHCA patients who underwent ECPR in recent 10 years, between 2016 and 2025. Result: Total 691 ECPR adult patients during 2016-2025. 479 patients (69.3%) with IHCA. The cohort was predominantly male (n=342, 71.4%) with mean age of 63.9 ± 14.0 years. Mean duration of ECMO support was 113.5 ± 165.9 hours. 29.6% of patient survival to hospital discharge. Median survival time was 13 days. Following by survival analysis, survival rate of 14 days, 30 days, 1 year and 2 year was 47.8%, 39.2%, 27%, 25.8%, respectively. Conclusion: We analyzed overall IHCA-ECPR patients without exclusion criteria in this study. Survival curve is similar to our previous study in 2008. It shows the outcome of IHCA-ECPR patients may not influence by patient characteristic, including age, comorbidities or other factors.
