The efficacy of Impella for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is unknown. We report the cases of three patients with cardiogenic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received hemodynamic support with Impella.
Two patients, Case 2 and Case 3, received concomitant treatment with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Impella. Percutaneous coronary intervention was undertaken in two patients, Case 1 and Case 3. Two patients, Case 1 and Case 3, showed favorable neurological function with the Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance and overall performance categories score of 1 at discharge.
These findings suggest that Impella is effective in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Further studies are required to understand the use of Impella for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
体外膜肺氧合(Impella)对院外心脏骤停患者的疗效尚不清楚。我们报告了3例心源性院外心脏骤停患者接受Impella血流动力学支持的病例。
病例2和病例3这2例患者同时接受了静脉-动脉体外膜肺氧合和Impella治疗。病例1和病例3这2例患者接受了经皮冠状动脉介入治疗。病例1和病例3这2例患者出院时格拉斯哥-匹兹堡脑功能和总体功能分类评分为1,神经功能良好。
这些发现表明,Impella对院外心脏骤停患者有效。需要进一步研究以了解Impella在院外心脏骤停患者中的应用。
