Discussion

Simulation modeling reveals the potential of prehospital strategies to improve survival and flow recovery in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Prehospital ECPR strategies significantly improved survival rates compared to in-hospital models.
The simulation showed prehospital strategies yielding up to 42.0% survival with better flow recovery at 60 minutes.
Using Monte Carlo simulation with historical OHCA data enhanced understanding of optimal ECPR delivery.
Prehospital approaches demonstrated the largest decrease in low-flow times, suggesting better emergency response outcomes.

Leroux et al. (2025) studied this question.
