The Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...

متن کاملSuccessful resuscitation after cardiac arrest following massive brown snake envenomation.
We report a 44-year-old Western Australian man who suffered a cardiac arrest several hours after a bite by a brown snake. He was successfully resuscitated after bolus administration of undiluted brown snake antivenom. We suggest that an initial bolus dose of at least five ampoules (5000 units) of undiluted brown snake antivenom should be given as primary therapy for cardiac arrest following bro...
متن کاملRopivacaine-induced cardiac arrest after peripheral nerve block: successful resuscitation.
ROPIVACAINE is an amide local anesthetic with a long duration of action that was developed because of the high risk of cardiac complications induced by bupivacaine. Preclinical studies have confirmed its reduced systemic and cardiac toxicity as compared with bupivacaine, and clinical studies have also been very reassuring regarding the risk of ropivacaine-induced systemic toxicity. There have, ...
متن کاملCortisol levels and adrenal reserve after successful cardiac arrest resuscitation.
The postresuscitation phase after out-of-hospital circulatory arrest shares similarities with severe sepsis. Corticosteroid replacement is beneficial in patients with septic shock and adrenal dysfunction. The goal of this study was to assess baseline cortisol and adrenal reserve of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest patients after recovery of spontaneous circulation. Thirty-three consecutive pa...
