Overview

Case report demonstrates successful resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest using mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, suggesting the viability of prehospital bypass protocols.

Key Points

  • Document the feasibility and clinical impact of deploying mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation directly to the scene for refractory cardiac arrest caused by massive pulmonary embolism.
  • Single-patient case narrative detailing prehospital resuscitation during sudden cardiac arrest secondary to massive pulmonary embolism.
  • Field deployment and rapid cannulation of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit conducted on-site through an emergency clinical trial protocol.
  • Field-initiated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation successfully restored systemic perfusion and oxygenation at the scene of the collapse.
  • The intervention facilitated complete survival and functional recovery despite out-of-hospital refractory cardiac arrest.
