First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 74 people who received emergency ECMO (a heart-lung machine) after their heart stopped outside a hospital. Researchers measured their quality of life, anxiety, and depression 30 days later. The goal was to understand how well survivors recover physically and emotionally, not to test a new treatment.
