Confirmed early myocardial rupture in a patient with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) following late presentation of ST elevation myocardial infarction

A 69-year-old male, an ex-smoker, was admitted with ongoing chest pain of 11 h duration. Past medical history included treated hypertension and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. He delayed seeking medical attention as he assumed the pain to be due to indigestion and kept taking antacids without much symptomatic relief. Clinical examination on arrival was unremarkable. Admission 12 lead electro...

Atropine, halothane, and pulseless electrical activity.

C ardiovascular depression from halothane overdose is a well-described cause of cardiac arrest in children undergoing anesthesia. In Salem et al’s (1) report of cardiac arrests in infants and children, seven of 73 were related to overdose of halothane. In Keenan and Boyan’s (2) landmark article on cardiac arrest due to anesthesia, five of six pediatric arrests were due to halothane excess, with...
