Complications after ECLS; cannula site bleeding (23/39; 59 %), acute kidney injury (9/39; 23 %), leg malperfusion (8/39; 21 %), pneumonia (7/39; 18 %), sepsis (3/39; 8 %).

Survival rate of patients with OHCA (1/18; 5 %) lower than IHCA (11/24; 46 %).

Low flow time of OHCA (77 min) longer than IHCA (55 min).

Cannulation failure: two in OHCA (2/18; 11 %)

In OHCA, complications ECMO; distal leg perfusion (4/18; Haneya22%), femoral leg lesion (2/18; 11 %).

Door to ECMO team activation time < 10 min for refractory OHCA.

Rapid and accurate ECMO implantation in the catheter laboratory.

Complications after ECLS; cannulation site bleeding (3/23; 13 %).

Oliguria may be a predictor for mortality.

Brain CT just after ECMO and following brain imaging may be a predictor for neurologic outcome.
