Overview

Modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its introduction into wide practice has more than sixty years of history. Despite all efforts to improve the original procedures and improve the results of care for patients with cardiac arrest, the basic recommendations and rules of modern emergency resuscitation remain practically the same as at the time of its inception. In recent years, in order to increase the number of patients surviving cardiac arrest, urgent resuscitation has been used in combination with the method of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary oxygenation (ECPR). This procedure shows the potential and possibilities of contemporary medicine, but at the same time it brings a lot of question marks and cannot be recommended routinely.
