Association between gasping and survival among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: The SOS-KANTO 2017 study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to assess the association between gasping and survival among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Methods

This prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted between 2019 and 2021. We categorized adult patients requiring ECPR into those with or without gasping prior to hospital arrival. The primary outcome was the 30-day survival. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses fitted with generalized estimating equations and subgroup analyses based on the initial rhythm and age.

Results

Of the 9,909 patients with OHCA requiring ECPR, 332 were enrolled in the present study, including 92 (27.7%) and 240 (72.3%) with and without gasping, respectively. The 3
