サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Welcome to today’s episode 115, where we’ll be exploring the role of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or ECPR, in 2023. We’ll look at the findings from a recent review published in *Intensive Care Medicine Experimental*, which covers the history, current practices, and the unique challenges involved with ECPR. To start, we’ll break down what ECPR is and why it’s used, especially in cases of refractory cardiac arrest when conventional CPR just isn’t enough. We’ll discuss how ECPR works, including the key procedures and techniques involved in setting up this advanced life-support option, with a focus on cannulation methods and choosing the right patients for this intervention. As with any intensive treatment, ECPR comes with risks. We’ll discuss some of the potential complications, like clotting, tissue ischemia, and post-resuscitation syndrome. Then, we’ll turn to the evidence on how ECPR impacts patient survival and neurological outcomes—what the current research shows and where questions remain. In the end, while ECPR is an advanced and resource-intensive procedure, the potential for it to improve outcomes in specific cardiac arrest cases is promising. This episode will help shed light on where ECPR stands today and the ongoing research aimed at understanding its full potential. Let’s get started!
