What are the survival outcomes and variables influencing survival in patients receiving emergent ECLS for cardiovascular collapse?
Emergent ECLS for cardiovascular collapse can yield a 24.7% long-term survival rate, particularly when bridging to a surgically remediable intervention and when initiated within 30 minutes of CPR.
Willms et al. (1997) studied this question.
