Abstract

The article presents a study on the use of an extracorporeal life support (ECLS) system for optimized blood pressure and flow to improve neurological recovery. The study shows big improvement in survival after 15 minutes of normothermic cardiac arrest. The results of the study supports the hypothesis that using an ECLS for pressure- and flow-controlled circulation after circulatory arrest is superior to conventional CPR.
