"OnScene team deserve tremendous credit for advancing #ECPR through national prehospital network. Bringing expert teams to selected pts with refractory #OHCA may improve survival/neuro-recovery. Destination is timely reperfusion; route should follow the patient." @DYannopoulos
📢 Results of "OnScene" trial, nationwide prehospital helicopter ECPR program in 🇳🇱, are out on @NEJM + have been just presented at #ReSS26
🚁 In young adults with refractory #OHCA who were attended by HEMS equipped to deliver prehospital #ECMO (intervention group, 144 patients) vs those attended by HEMS without ECPR capability (conventional group 87 patients), incorporating ECPR was associated with improved survival to discharge vs conventional care. In intervention group 40% survived until hospital discharge (vs 20%). At 6 months, a favourable neurologic outcome reported in 36% in the intervention group (vs 13%). Full results at
