Pneumonia and Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Followed by Targeted Temperature Management in Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest　- Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: We examined the association between initiation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and the incidence of infectious complications, such as pneumonia, sepsis, and bacteremia, after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients who received targeted temperature management (TTM). Methods and Results: This retrospective study used data from hospital medical records of patients with OHCA treated with TTM who had been admitted to St. Luke's International Hospital between April 2006 and December 2018. The primary endpoint was the association between the type of CPR and the incidence of early onset pneumonia in the intensive care unit (ICU; between 48 h and 7 days of hospitalization).
