Extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) successfully rescues a patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest for 152 minutes.

ECPR is an effective and advanced form of extracorporeal life-support technique used in the treatment of patients with cardiac arrest (CA).

Mechanical CPR devices ensure the delivery of high-quality CPR.

CRRT contributes significantly to patient management by regulating temperature, controlling fluid volume, and removing inflammatory mediators, thereby facilitating cerebral recovery.

However, the generalizability of this case is limited due to its singular nature, and further studies involving larger cohorts are necessary to validate these findings.

In addition, the potential risks and long-term effects of prolonged CPR, especially in terms of multiorgan failure and complications, warrant further investigation.
