Very happy to share the results of our #ECPR program
We treated >300 OHCA patients in the last 10 years in our cardiac arrest center in Milan 🇮🇹
17% survived, 57% of them with good neuro outcome
Outcomes improved as the case volume increased

A Melbourne father has survived two heart attacks and a car crash, and he has his wife to thank. She raised the alarm when he complained of chest pains, sparking a miracle chain reaction which ended with life-saving surgery on the street. https://t.co/R5vvQF9jKA @JaydeVincent
Extracorporeal CPR may be the way of the future. But in the meantime it needs a system of care and strict consensus based guidelines. This @ELSOOrg statement is a great piece of work by friends and colleagues at @AlfredHealth@AmbulanceVic@samudeparis and others.
Why don't you come into my ICU and say that to the family of a patient dying from COVID-19?
This is a public health emergency, not an opportunity for cheap political point scoring.
This virus doesn't care who you vote for or what newspaper you read.
This is an incredible save - amazing work by the clinicians at Bairnsdale, @AmbulanceVic ARV, our ECMO team, plus too many @alfredhealth specialties and clinicians to mention. Most of all, fantastic work by Rory and his family to come through it all. 👏🏼
3 weeks ago - just one Australian COVID ICU patient and all crit care staff available. Today - 11 in ICU and 21 staff unavailable. Hoping we get control again & thinking of everyone in Victoria. @anzics@AmbulanceVic

#covid19FOAM#coronavirus updates from the CCM-L list. Troubling reports from Italy, as this sounds like a rather sicker population than described in other settings. Note the high prevalence of shock and fairly young age bracket. (shared with permission)
The @intensiveblog team taking our #ECMO to the next level by practicing on the floor. Does this mean we might soon be bringing #prehospital#ECPR to the people of Melbourne...? 🤔 🚑 🚨 😷 ##EMS#PHaRM
