About 62% (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 22) of the patients suffered from out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), 85% (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 30) of the overall events were witnessed and bystander‐CPR performed in 77% (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 27) of cases. Cause of arrest was dominated by acute myocardial infarction (AMI, 71%), initial rhythm to a lesser degree by ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (VF/VT, 57%). Almost all patients (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 33, 94%) experienced return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after establishing extracorporeal life support (ECLS). In all 57% patients were successfully weaned from ECLS. Survival to discharge was 31% with predominantly good cerebral performance category (CPC 1‐2). Survivors were more likely to receive bystander‐CPR (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.03) and the duration of cCPR until initiation of eCPR was significantly shorter (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.004).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>Our data proves the exceptional level of efficiency of eCPR particularly when Bystander‐CPR has been initiated and there is a short duration of cCPR. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</jats:p></jats:sec>
