Quick takeaways
- Early extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) does not show superior outcomes compared to conventional CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
- Preserved blood flow in ultrasound does not rule out testicular torsion, and age and symptoms duration are significant risk factors.

Early Extracorporeal CPR for Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
A multi-center randomized control trial in the Netherlands examined the effectiveness of early extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study found that eCPR and conventional CPR had similar effects on survival with a favorable neurological outcome. The trial included patients aged 18 to 70 years old with an initial rhythm of VF or VT who did not achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) within 15 minutes. The authors concluded that eCPR did not demonstrate superior outcomes compared to conventional CPR in these patients.
