Interventions
Patients included in the registry will be transferred during LUCAS assisted CPR by the Wroclaw Emergency Medical Services to the Emergency Department of the Wroclaw University Hospital where blood gasses will be assessed. If two or more of the following: end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) \> 10 mm Hg, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) \>50 mm Hg or oxygen saturation \>85%, and lactic acid \<18 mmol/L will be fulfilled patient will be further transferred to the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory for V-A ECMO implantation followed by coronary/pulmonary artery angiography and intervention.
