Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been used since the 1970s and recently has seen increased use for in-hospital arrest requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). This paper provides an updated review of the ECPR literature and practical recommendations for implementation of an ECPR program.

Keywords: ECMO; ECPR; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
