Impact of staff turnover on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a nationwide registry-based analysis in Japan
While the physician turnover period had no discernible impact on outcomes in the overall OHCA population, it was significantly associated with improved survival among ECPR-treated patients. These findings suggest that ECPR may benefit from institutional preparedness during staff transition, but should be interpreted cautiously given the study limitations.
