Extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) involves venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with sudden and unexpected pulse loss due to heart-stopping mechanical activity.

In emergency rooms, interdisciplinary coordination exists among emergency medicine, cardiology, critical care, and perfusion technology.

- Myocardial infarction (MI) causes significant inflammation that affects recovery, and colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug, may help reduce adverse cardiovascular events in post-MI patients.
- This meta-analysis reviewed randomized controlled trials to assess colchicine's effectiveness and safety, focusing on multiple cardiovascular outcomes including mortality and adverse events.
- Results from eleven studies involving over 7,000 patients showed that colchicine significantly lowered the risk of adverse cardiovascular events and hospitalization urgency, but it also increased gastrointestinal issues without affecting overall mortality rates.
