Clinical Prediction Score for Patients With Initial Nonshockable Rhythm Receiving Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Development and Internal Validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Selecting appropriate patients for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains challenging, particularly for those with initial nonshockable rhythms. Our aim is to develop a prediction score to identify suitable ECPR candidates in patients with initial nonshockable rhythm.

Methods

The data were sourced from the SAVE-J II (Study of Advanced Life Support for Ventricular Fibrillation With Extracorporeal Circulation in Japan II) study, a retrospective multicenter observational study in Japan. Included were adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent ECPR with initial pulseless electrical activity or asystole. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. We developed a prediction
