On Scene ECPR in Ostrava

The Effectiveness of ECPR on the Scene and in Hospital for Out-of-hospital Cardi-ac Arrest (OHCA) in the Moravian-Silesian Region.

Sponsor

University Hospital Ostrava

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Jan 30, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Cardiogenic Shock Cardiac Arrest (CA)

Summary

On-scene extracorporeal pulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) seems to speed up the start of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and shorten low flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in case of refractory cardiac arrest. The primary goal is to verify the benefit of on-scene ECPR in terms of shortening the collapse-to-ECMO interval. The secondary goal is to compare outcomes in the on-scene ECPR group with hospital cannulation.

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a procedure called Prehospital ECMO cannulation on scene of cardiac arrest and a procedure called Transfer with ongoing mechanical chest compression to hospital followed by hospital ECMO cannulation for people with cardiac arrest (ca) and cardiogenic shock. The study is currently recruiting participants at 2 locations. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 70 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPrehospital ECMO cannulation on scene of cardiac arrest

ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a critical, advanced resuscitation technique using Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for patients in cardiac arrest where conventional CPR fails, functioning as a bridge to restore circulation and oxygenation by pumping and oxygenating blood outside the body before returning it.
