ECPR Outcomes in Pediatric Patients
This chapter explores the factors influencing outcomes of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in children, particularly the impact of obesity on mortality rates. It discusses the significance of age, initial cardiac rhythms, and the timing of intervention on survival and neurological outcomes. The chapter emphasizes the need for further research to better understand the complexities of ECPR and improve decision-making for pediatric patients.
