Mortality risk factors in patients receiving ECPR after cardiac arrest

[...]the presence of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) or asystole often reflects severe non-cardiogenic pathology or an advanced stage of a cardiogenic cause that may have initially presented with a shockable rhythm. [...]cerebrovascular disease might serve as an “indicator” of underlying disease...

Summary:[...]the presence of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) or asystole often reflects severe non-cardiogenic pathology or an advanced stage of a cardiogenic cause that may have initially presented with a shockable rhythm. [...]cerebrovascular disease might serve as an “indicator” of underlying disease complexity and severity, ultimately influencing prognosis. [...]we agree with the authors that time, underlying conditions, and early diagnosis are pivotal determinants of 30-day survival among OHCA patients undergoing ECPR.
