Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with traumatic cardiac arrest during the acute phase following injury: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
This comprehensive systematic review of the literature identified 84 patients, who were treated with ECPR because of a TCA during the acute phase following injury. The results of this meta-analysis are hypothesis-generating and suggest that ECPR may be feasible and potentially beneficial in selected patients with TCA. Future research on ECPR in TCA is warranted. Entry of respective cases into international registries appears essential.
