Implication

Retrospective observational study reveals trends in outcomes after cardiac arrest, highlighting ECPR's potential during COVID-19.

Abstract

Outcomes among OHCA patients transported to CCMCs remained stable until 2019 but declined during the COVID-19 pandemic period. However, improved outcomes among patients eligible for ECPR suggest that timely and targeted post-arrest interventions may improve outcomes in selected populations.
