Behind these results are patients, families and healthcare professionals. What does prehospital ECPR mean for them, and what does it take to bring this advanced treatment directly to the patient?

Mission

Extracorporeal CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR), as rescue therapy for refractory out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), can improve outcome. In order to reduce low-flow time, the 4 Dutch Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) will be equipped with ECMO. The aim is to achive ECMO bloodflow 30-35 min after dispatch in patients with refractory OHCA, covering the entire area of The Netherlands.

This video shows a simulation of how ECPR can be embedded in the complex rescue chain.
