Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation vs. conventional rewarming for severe hypothermia in an urban emergency department

Among emergency department patients with severe hypothermia and cardiac arrest, survival was significantly higher with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) versus conventional rewarming. Further, among all hypothermic patients, ECMO use was associated with faster rewarming than conventional methods.
