Expanding ECPR’s Role in Perioperative Care
Cardiac arrest during surgery or interventional procedures is rare—but when it happens, every second counts. A new study from UCLA reveals that implementing a rapid-response ECPR protocol during the perioperative period can dramatically improve survival rates, far outperforming standard resuscitation in high-risk environments like cath labs and ORs. Learn how structured perioperative ECPR programs can bridge the gap between access and action—and why hospitals can’t afford to wait.
