Implementation of emergency extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a hospital without on-site cardiothoracic surgery support
The ECPR protocol involving the initiation of emergency VA-ECMO in a hospital without on-site cardiac surgery and transfer to a tertiary center for further treatment is feasible and led to the survival of 20 % of the ECPR-treated patients and 25 % of all VA-ECMO-treated patients.
