Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is proposed for cardiac resuscitation in selected cases. End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is easily obtained during conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We hypothesized that the level of ETCO2 during CPR would reflect the degree of brain and kidney damage following ECPR in experimental refractory cardiac arrest.
