End-tidal carbon dioxide-guided extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves neurological prognosis in patients: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective intervention for restoring adequate circulatory perfusion after cardiac arrest. Ensuring high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before initiating Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is critical to mitigate tissue hypoxia and ischemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO₂) Goal-Directed CPR (GDCPR) on neurological function before ECMO using a retrospective case-control analysis.

Methods

The medical records of all patients who received ECPR treated at Zhongshan City People's Hospital were collected between January 2020 and March 2023. In this retrospective cohort study, the patients were divided into Conventional CPR (CCPR) and ETCO
