CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ECPR, extracorporeal CPR; CCPR, conventional CPR; VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia; PEA, pulseless electrical activity; ED, emergency department; SAPS, simplified acute physiologic score; ROSB, return of spontaneous heart beat; ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation; CPC, cerebral performance category; LOS, length of stay.
