This is an illustrative example of a VF cardiac arrest and resuscitation with continuous mechanical chest compression and ECMO, with intentional delay of the start of flow until 27 minutes after the induction of VF. Central arterial pressure (CAP) is shown in mmHg. Note the three brief pauses in chest compressions while the ECMO catheters were being inserted into the artery.
