Biomarkers of hypoperfusion (lactate), inflammation (leucocytes), and organ injury (ALP and CK-MB) were independently associated with neurological status at hospital discharge. Biomarkers of hypoperfusion and inflammation (at hospital admission) and organ injury (days 1 and 2 after ECPR) may aid in the clinical decision of when to prolong or terminate ECPR in cases of refractory OHCA.
