RCT: In patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a strategy of intra-arrest transport, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and immediate invasive assessment did not significantly improve survival with a favorable neurological outcome (OR 1.63; 95% CI 0.93 to 2.85; P = .09).

In this randomized clinical trial, early intra-arrest transport, extracorporeal CPR, and invasive assessment and treatment did not significantly improve survival with neurologically favorable outcome at 180 days compared with standard resuscitation. https://t.co/qSqWSFFpOF pic.twitter.com/SLu0bGHhq8
