Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an alternative method for patients with reversible causes of cardiac arrest (CA) after conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR). However, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration during ECPR can vary due to multiple factors. Healthcare providers need to understand these factors to optimize the resuscitation process and improve outcomes.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors associated with neurological and disability outcomes in patients who underwent ECMO following cardiac arrest.
Methods: This retrospective, single-center, observational study included adult patients who received ECMO treatment for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) between February 2016 and March 2020. Factors associated with neurological and disability outcomes in these patients who underwent ECMO were assessed.
Prognostic effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) start time and the interval between CPR to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) on patient outcomes under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): a single-center, retrospective observational study.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how the timing of events during cardiac arrest affects patient survival and recovery.
- It focused on two key time intervals: no-flow time (the time before CPR starts) and low-flow time (the time from starting CPR to getting advanced help called ECPR).
- The findings showed that longer no-flow time could lead to worse outcomes, like longer CPR and lower chances of surviving, while longer low-flow time mainly led to longer CPR duration.
