Objectives
To evaluate the number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients eligible for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in Saskatchewan and their clinical outcomes, including survival and neurological outcomes at discharge. ECPR eligibility was assessed, using clinical criteria from the University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Michigan (UM), University of California (UC) and a restrictive ECPR criteria.
Results
We performed a retrospective cohort study of 200 OHCA patients (August 1, 2017-May 31, 2019) in Regina, Saskatchewan. Sixty-one (30%) were female, the median age was 64 years (interquartile range [IQR], 52–78), the median CPR duration was 30 minutes (IQR 12–47), and 20% survived to discharge. Two (1%) patients received ECPR but did not meet any ECPR criteria. Nineteen (10%), thirty (15%), twenty-two (11%), and seven (4%) patients were ECPR-eligible, using the UBC, UM, UC, and restrictive criteria. However, none of these patients had received ECPR. Only two (11%), two (7%), two (9%), and one (14%) of these patient(s) survived to discharge, respectively. Neurological outcomes were unfavourable among all ECPR-eligible patients. Future study at our centre will be necessary on how to implement ECPR program to further improve these outcomes.
