Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although previous randomized trials and observational studies have reported conflicting results regarding the impact of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) implementation on survival and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the prevalence of ECPR in patients with OHCA has been rapidly increasing worldwide. However, no high-quality evidence exists regarding the clinical benefits of ECPR after OHCA. Therefore, understanding the current and future state of ECPR is a critical step toward effective implementation worldwide. In this subsequent Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, we aim to discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and optimal management in treating ECPR patients. Since we would like to attract a global audience, we welcome any contributions from around the world.
Dr. Wataru Takayama
