More Than a Pilot: How eCPR Programs Shape Everyday Resuscitation
What happens when a cutting-edge innovation in resuscitation changes more than just the patients who receive it? On Monday, April 13, our next Clinical Journal Club examines the system-level impact of extracorporeal CPR (eCPR).
Using data from 30,000+ out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in Los Angeles County, this study explores whether implementation of an eCPR pilot program influenced outcomes among patients who never received the intervention. Register free below!
