Episode Synopsis

ECMO enhanced CPR has the potential to be an option for certain types of arrests but is a novel approach when performed in the prehospital setting. In this episode, we review a case report of ECMO established for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We also have a discussion with the senior author about the details of the program.
