Keywords: cardiopulmonary resuscitation; heart arrest EN cardiopulmonary resuscitation heart arrest 1031 1033 3 04/20/20 20200324 NES 200324 Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is expected to benefit the rescue of selected patients, particularly those who are refractory to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).[1] Considering its invasive procedure and considerable resources, establishing a helpful criterion for initiating ECPR remains crucial. Low-flow duration (LFD) is one of the most common criteria to identify candidates for ECPR.[1] However, the association between LFD and favorable neurological outcome has not been sufficiently investigated in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). LFD was defined as the time interval from initiation of any CPR (bystander CPR or CPR by emergency medical services personnel) to the initiation of ECPR. [Extracted from the article]
