Aims: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has shown encouraging survival rates in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest; however, its routine use is still controversial. We compared the survival of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest receiving conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) to that of patients with ECLS as an adjunct to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).Methods: A total of 353 patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (272 CCPR and 52 ECPR) were included in this retrospective, propensity score-adjusted (1:1 matched), single-centre study. Primary endpoints were survival at 30 days, long-term survival and neurological outcome defined by the cerebral performance categories score.Results: In the unmatched groups patients undergoing ECPR initially had significantly higher APACHE II scores (P=0.03), increased norepinephrine dosages (P=0.03) and elevated levels of creatine kinase (P
