Abstract
The use of extracorporeal circulatory life support (ECLS) improves survival in patients with refractory cardiac arrest (rCA), but recommendations regarding selection criteria for optimal outcomes have not been published. In 2014, an institutional decision-making tool was developed, including specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) consideration at our institution. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of rCA patients when cannulation was performed according to local selection criteria for E-CPR, relative to when it was not.
