There are no reports of ECMO being used to support OHCA in India till date. We report a case of a young man who developed cardiac arrest (CA) while driving and was given bystander cardiac massage. He was brought to tertiary care center where an ECMO was utilized for refractory CA. The patient subsequently underwent emergency coronary artery stenting and was weaned off ECMO and ventilation. We discuss the case and highlight the role of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Extra corporeal membrane oxygenationout of hospital cardiac arrestcoronary stentingJournal ArticleIndiaConsultant in Cardiac AnaesthesiaConsultant in Emergency MedicineConsultant in Cardiac SurgeryConsultant Cardiology, Aster Medcity, Kuttisahib Road, South Chitoor, Cheranalloor, Kochi, Kerala, India
