Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used for adults with cardiac arrest (CA) refractory to Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS).

Background: Critically ill ED patients on life support may undergo transition to comfort care as decided by the surrogate decision maker. When several hours are needed for loved ones to arrive and say farewell before initiating comfort care ("delayed comfort care"), these patients require prolonged ED stays or costly intensive care unit (ICU) admissions.
Methods: A novel ED observation unit (EDOU)-based delayed comfort care pathway for ED patients on invasive mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressors was created in 2013 at Stanford Hospital.
