Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the acronym CALL TO ECLS to improve decision-making for patient qualification in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest for the ECMO procedure.
- A survey conducted among experts rated various criteria on a scale of usefulness, importance, clarity, and unambiguity, showing high validity with I-CVI scores between 0.87 and 0.97.
- The feedback led to revisions of the acronym, enhancing clarity and usefulness, particularly by adding explanations like "Signs of life" in the context of CPR.
