New study: eCPR programs don't harm cardiac arrest patients who don't receive eCPR — and with hands-on training + MCDs on ALS units, survival AND neuro outcomes actually improve. A rising tide lifts all boats. 🫀 Full text: doi.org/10.1080/1090...

Impact of an eCPR Pilot Program on Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest for Patients Who Do Not Receive eCPR in a Large, Urban EMS System
Los Angeles County initiated an extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) program to transport patients with refractory shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to dedicated eCPR-c...

Finally some evidence to support a concept we’ve taught for years. Save the right IJ for when it’s absolutely necessary (eg, dialysis, ECMO). Kudos to the authors. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨The Preprint Draft 2025 ILCOR CoSTR is posted🚨 An incredible amount of work goes into developing this document, which will inform practice guidelines worldwide. Proud to be a small part, but mostly impressed with everyone’s work after peeking behind the curtains. ilcor.org/publications...

Really cool study led by David Murphy on "apnea interval" - the interruption in ventilation due to intubation attempt during CPR. TL;DR: Shorter apnea interval associated with favorable outcomes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Does VF on consecutive rhythm checks mean refractory or recurrent VF? In this analysis of data from cases in the ARREST registry out of Amsterdam, only 5% (n=22) of cases remained in refractory VF after 3 shocks. #emimcc academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ad...
