Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) in the Prehospital Setting: An Illustrative Case of ECPR Performed in the Louvre Museum

Lionel Lamhaut et al. Prehosp Emerg Care. 2017 May-Jun.

Abstract

Introduction: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is now considered for the treatment of refractory cardiac arrest.

Case report: In an urban city like Paris, extraction times of in-hospital ECPR can be long for patients presenting with refractory cardiac arrest. Using the medicalized prehospital system, we developed a possible early prehospital ECPR implementation. This case report is an example of ECPR prehospital implementation in the Louvre Museum.

Conclusion: Patients eligible for ECPR must be selected according to strict criteria. Further research is necessary to compare prehospital and in-hospital implementation.

Keywords: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR); Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO); cardiac arrest.
