Open AccessPrognostic value of arterial carbon dioxide tension during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving extracorporeal resuscitation
Current guidelines on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) recommend careful patient selection, but precise criteria are lacking. Arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) has prognostic value in out...
