Construction and application of a multidisciplinary team approach for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary re- suscitation WU Jiehua, CHEN Hua, XIA Ye, LENG Xiahua, WANG Mengmeng, CHEN Huan, YAN Chengkun 2023, 4 (11):  983-988.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.2096-7446.2023.11.004 Abstract ( 330 )   Save Objective To construct a multi-disciplinary team （MDT） approach for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation（ECPR） and evaluate its application. Methods An expert group discussion method was used to con- struct a MDT protocol for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Using a convenience sampling method，35 patients who underwent ECPR from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the experimental group，and 32 patients who underwent ECPR from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the control group. The experimental group implemented the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation MDT protocol on the basis of the conventional process and care，while the control group was given the conventional emergency receiving and nursing care. Compared the time spent on each session，48h return of spontaneous circulation rate，48h survival rate and in- hospital survival rate between the two groups of patients. Results 31 cases were collected in the experimental group and 27 cases in the control group. The time spent in each session was significantly lower in the experimen- tal group than that in the control group after the intervention，and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.001）. The 48h return of spontaneous circulation rate，48h survival rate and in-hospital survival rate were significantly higher than those in the control group，and the differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. Conclusion The application of the MDT approach for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation can shorten the resuscitation time of patients with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation，promote medical and nursing cooperation，and improve the resuscitation success rate.

Methods From June 2021 to June 2022，60 patients each from a tertiary level A hospital and a secondary level A hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region undergoing invasive blood pressure monitoring were selected. Based on the cannulation method，they were randomly divided into the optimization group（60 patients） and the traditional group（60 patients） by the random number table method. The optimization group optimized the connection process be- tween arterial puncture cannula and pressure transducer，and introduced intracavitary electrogram localization tech- nology at the tip of arterial puncture. The traditional group used penetrating arterial puncture catheterization. The primary evaluation indicators included first-attempt cannulation success rate，post-puncture bruising，puncture bleed- ing，pain score，and patient satisfaction. Results Compared to the traditional group，the first-attempt cannulation suc- cess rate in the optimization group significantly increased（95.0% vs 83.3%，P=0.04）. The post-puncture bruising rate significantly decreased（5.0% vs 28.3%，P=0.01）. The puncture bleeding rate significantly decreased（0 vs 100.0%，P= 0.04）. The proportion of patients with mild pain significantly increased（95.0% vs 75.0%，P=0.02），while the propor- tion with moderate pain significantly decreased （5.0% vs 25.0%，P=0.02）. Patient satisfaction also improved（95.0% vs 75.0%，P=0.01）. Conclusion Optimizing the procedure of arterial cannulation for invasive blood pressure moni- toring can effectively improve the first-attempt puncture success rate，reduce complications，and enhance patient sat- isfaction.
