"In this comprehensive analysis, the effect of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) therapies [extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VADs)] on neurological and survival outcomes in patients who have experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is compared to non-MCS interventions [cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or conventional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) procedures]. The morbidity and mortality of patients are significantly impacted by the life-threatening nature of OHCA. A potential tactic to enhance patient outcomes in these cases is the deployment of MCS devices. In comparison to non-MCS therapies, preliminary analysis of the included studies indicates that MCS interventions may be linked to better neurological and survival results in OHCA patients. The information that is currently available, nonetheless, is few and inconsistent because of differences in:
• Research design,
• Patient demographics, and
• MCS methods.
To fully comprehend the ideal use and efficacy of MCS therapies in OHCA patients, more study is required with:
• Standardization of study methodologies and
• Bigger, well-designed trials.
