Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a complex, life-saving procedure that uses mechanical support for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, representing the pinnacle of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) applications. Effective ECPR requires precise patient selection, rapid mobilization of a multidisciplinary team, and skilled cannulation techniques. Establishing a program necessitates a cohesive ECMO system that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, which is essential for managing acute cardiogenic shock and severe pulmonary failure.

Intraoperative cardiac arrest presents a significant challenge in surgical settings, particularly in patients with undiagnosed cardiac conditions. This report details the case of a 62-year-old male patient who experienced cardiac arrest during elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, attributed to previously undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The patient exhibited no prior cardiac symptoms and was assessed as low risk preoperatively.

Aim: High-risk deliveries are still common due to the increased use of assisted reproductive technologies. In Japan, despite centralization of labor, about half of all deliveries are still carried out in obstetric clinics. Telemedicine support is important for neonatal resuscitation involving urgent, life-altering professional judgment in local deliveries.

In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who attain return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), rearrest while in the prehospital setting represents a significant barrier to survival. To date, there are limited data to guide prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) management immediately following successful resuscitation resulting in ROSC and prior to handoff in the emergency department. Post-ROSC care encompasses a multifaceted approach including hemodynamic optimization, airway management, oxygenation, and ventilation.

Importance: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a significant public health burden. Rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have been improving, but the best way to care for patients after the initial resuscitation remains poorly understood, and improvements in survival to discharge are stagnant. Existing North American cardiac arrest databases lack comprehensive data on the post-resuscitation period, and we do not know current post-IHCA practice patterns.
