Abstract
Of patients started on CPS, 46% were weaned, and 26.0% were long-time survivors. Rapid initiation of CPS permits LTS for some inpatients with cardiovascular collapse when initial advanced resuscitation fails. Strategies to improve end-organ function associated with use of CPS should lead to greater LTS. This practical application of inexpensive available technology should be more widely used.
