Practical implication
POTENTIALLY OUTDATED. Predates ECLS-SHOCK (2023) and the 2023 individual patient data meta-analysis, which found no mortality benefit and a clear harm signal for routine early VA ECMO in infarct-related cardiogenic shock. Any pre-2023 recommendation on that question must be re-checked.
