Characteristics of circulatory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study

Open Heart

Background Circulatory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) as part of the postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is believed to be caused by an initial myocardial depression that later subsides into a superimposed vasodilatation. Results CPO, SW and oxygen delivery increased during the first 48 hours.

VA-ECOM assisted percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy treatment high-risk pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ConclusionVA-ECMO-assisted PMT technology can rapidly improve pulmonary hemodynamics while maintaining stable blood flow, thereby reducing in-hospital mortality in high-risk patients with pulmonary embolism complicated by cardiac arrest. The 12-month mortality rate was 36.4%.ConclusionVA-ECMO-assisted
