“eCPR—Mechanical CPR, ECMO and PCI…Oh My!”

Physio-Control/Stryker & Saxe Healthcare Communications present*“eCPR—Mechanical CPR, ECMO and PCI…Oh My!”

Changes in the management of cardiac arrest have led to dramatically improved outcomes. However, a subset of patients in ventricular fibrillation may require more support and intervention. This webinar will identify those patients who may benefit from immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during cardiac arrest. PCI is also known as coronary angioplasty, a nonsurgical procedure that improves blood flow to your heart. In addition, cutting edge use of mechanical CPR and extracorporeal membrane oxygenatation (ECMO) to support these patients and preserve the myocardium during coronary intervention will be discussed.

Learning Objectives | Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe evolving EMS and hospital-based strategies for persistent ventricular fibrillation arrest
  2. Analyze the most current evidence on mechanical CPR as a bridge for circulatory support
  3. Discuss the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to preserve the myocardium until PCI can be performed
  4. Discuss the latest outcomes on the use of ECPR
