Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was associated with improved 180-day survival in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients without prehospital return of spontaneous circulation, according to a study published in Crit_Care.
The original study as well as secondary analyses was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the General University Hospital and First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague . Each participant’s legal representative was informed of the participant’s study enrollment and was asked for written informed consent as soon as possible. All patients who regained normal neurological function were asked to provide their written consent regarding the use of their data.
A CPC of 1–2 was considered a good neurological outcome, and a CPC of 3–5 was considered a poor neurological outcome.The continuous data were tested to normal distribution by Shapiro–Wilk test. Categorical values are expressed as count and percentage, and the continuous variables are expressed as median and intra-quartile range. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare the continuous values over all groups. Categorical values were tested using the chi-square test over all groups.
