Outcomes of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is increasingly used in cardiac arrest. Currently, public registries report the outcomes of cardiac arrest regardless of the setting (out-of-hospital versus in-hospital). Meanwhile, in-hospital cardiac arrest represents a more favorable setting for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation than out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
