Cardiac arrest during elective orthopedic surgery due to moderate hypokalemia.
We report the case of a perioperative cardiac arrest (ventricular fibrillation) of a patient undergoing elective orthopedic surgery due to moderate hypokalemia (serum potassium 2.8 mmol/l), whereas preoperative levels were normal. He was successfully resuscitated without neurological deficits and underwent postoperative intensive care monitoring. In times of increasing populations of elderly pe...
متن کاملHypothermia After Cardiac Arrest
Background—No proven neuroprotective treatment exists for ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia (MIH) is effective in animal models. Methods and Results—A safety and feasibility trial was designed to evaluate mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia by use of external cooling blankets after cardiac arrest. Inclusion criteria were return of spontaneous circ...

متن کاملTherapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest
In the era before Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) was recommended and used as a therapeutic modality for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, reported data suggests in-hospital mortality exceeded 58%.[1,2,3,4,5,6] Mortality after a sudden and unexpected cardiac arrest (CA) is high, and the chance of survival to hospital discharge has, until recently, remained unchanged.[7] In one report...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest.
Approximately 275 000 Europeans per year experience out-ofhospital cardiac arrest, with huge differences in survival ranging from more than 30% in some cities to just a few percent in others. The main cause of these significant survival differences is differences in overall quality of the treatment, both pre-hospital during resuscitation and in-hospital after return of spontaneous circulation. ...
