Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does cardiac arrest affect survival in post-operative cardiovascular surgery patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation?
Answer: Cardiac arrest did not affect short-tem and long-term mortality in a large cohort of patients with therapy refractory cardiogenic shock undergoing ECMO support following CV surgery. Our results suggest that the decision to initiate ECMO support in this specific patient population should not be influenced by the occurrence of cardiac arrest.
Output (English): no
