Key Takeaways
Recently, a patient at the University of Florida Health was brought back to life after doctors administered extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). His survival underscores the life-saving capabilities of this procedure.
Only certain patients meet the criteria for ECPR, which is also highly invasive, not widely available, and resource-intensive.
Experts hope that as technology advances and physicians gain more experience with the procedure, its availability will expand.
