Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is shown to be associated with favorable outcomes. Next to the relevance of accurate patient selection, hemodynamic management and focused therapy after initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients are gaining importance. Therapeutic options in patients with loss of pulse pressure during ECMO circulation should be established as early as possible to avoid additional adverse outcomes of ECPR patients.
