Evaluation of Quality of Life and Its Influencing Factors After VA-ECMO in Refractory Cardiac Arrest Based on SF-36 Score : A Grenoble Cohort Study From 2006 Through 2018

University Hospital, Grenoble75 enrolled

Overview

If the ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) improves survival in the management of refractory cardiac arrest (RCA), this technique is still an invasive technique, not devoid of complications and requiring intensive care that can have serious consequences for patients. If the studies so far show an acceptable quality of life post ECMO in refractory cardiac arrest, the study looks about the quality of life of our patients in Grenoble who survived a refractory cardiac arrest between 2006 and 2018 at the hospital university Grenoble Alps and the factors influencing this quality of life.
