Low versus standard-blood-flow reperfusion strategy in a pig model of refractory cardiac arrest resuscitated with Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation

In an experimental porcine model of refractory cardiac arrest treated by ECMO, a low-blood-flow strategy during the first six hours of resuscitation was associated with lower lactate clearance and lower cerebral blood flow with no benefits on ischemia-reperfusion parameters.
