Eligibility and hypothetical time windows for eCPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients managed by a nationwide helicopter-emergency medical service: A multicentric, retrospective cohort study
In Austrian HEMS, one in seven OHCA patients fulfilled eCPR eligibility criteria on scene. Our estimates strongly suggest that initiation of eCPR on scene could significantly shorten low-flow times and increase the proportion of eligible OHCA patients, who receive this potentially life-saving intervention.
