Abstract
After their prehospital management by EMS system and on-scene declaration of death, some patients are potential non-heart-beating donors. We report the case of refractory cardiac arrest, transferred to the hospital assisted by chest compression device. Time factor might be an important brake on prehospital recruitment. Future networks should attempt to shorten the time intervals.
