Exploratory analysis of myocardial function after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation vs conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Table 1 Echocardiographic characteristics

	ECPR	CCPR	p value
	n = 12	n = 104	p value
EF at first post-ROSC/return of spontaneous beat echocardiogram; % (± SE)	24% (5.2)	45% (1.8)	< 0.01
EF at last echocardiogram; % (± SE)^a	33% (8.9)	46% (2.5)	0.07
EF at last echocardiogram; % (± SE)^b	33% (8.9)	45% (3.9)	0.18
Duration of time between studies; days (± SE)^c	5.1 (1.4)	57.0 (24.3)	0.31
Duration of time between studies; days (± SE)^b	5.1 (1.4)	3.9 (0.5)	0.31
