Outcome, compliance with inclusion criteria and cost of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A retrospective cohort study
Our analysis highlights the complex interplay between clinical efficacy and financial implications in the utilization of ECPR. While ECPR demonstrates potential in improving survival rates and neurological outcomes among cardiac arrest patients, its adoption presents substantial economic challenges. Inappropriate patient selection may lead to significant increases in resource utilisation without improved outcome.
