Survival depends on minimizing low-flow duration before ECPR initiation. Timely deployment requires organizational preparedness, trained personnel, and rapid extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit readiness. However, data on ECPR organization in centers operating without dedicated perfusionist support are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was conducted among German ECMO centers operating without perfusionist support.

ECMO use was largely limited to the Cardiohelp and iLA activve\/Xenios Console systems. Setup times were significantly shorter for ECPR than for non-ECPR ECMO: median 15\u00a0min (IQR 12\u201318; range 5\u201330) versus 30\u00a0min (IQR 20\u201340; range 15\u2013105) (Mann\u2013Whitney U\u2009=\u200946,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001; Cliff\u2019s delta\u2009=\u20090.77; 95% CI 0.54\u20130.94). Nurses were more frequently involved in ECMO deployment in ECPR than in non-ECPR settings (59% (16\/27 centers) vs. 20% (3\/15 centers)). Within ECPR programs, regular training was reported more frequently for nurses than for physicians (87.5% (14\/16 centers) vs. 60% (6\/10 centers)). Overall, 76% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200932) of centers reported regular training (at least annually) for responsible personnel, 86% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200936) had internal SOPs in place, and 69% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200929) expressed the need for a universally applicable evidence-based SOP.
