Effects of hybrid emergency department on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hybrid emergency department (ED), which are equipped with fluoroscopy and computed tomography has been developed in Japan as a novel emergency care room. Although hybrid ED is effective in improving the outcomes of severe trauma, its influence on the management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remains unclear.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of hybrid ED on ECPR procedures and outcome in OHCA patients focusing on time from hospital arrival to establishment of ECPR.

Methods

A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted, including adult OHCA patients who underwent ECPR between April 2013 and March 2022. Patients treated in conventional ED were compare
