Functional Outcomes: One Year after a Cardiac Arrest
OBJECTIVE The study aim was to characterize the time-course of recovery in impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, disability, and quality of life during the first year after cardiac arrest. Secondarily, the study described the associations between the instruments used to measure each of these domains. METHODS Measures of global disability (Cerebral Performance Category...
متن کاملProlonged Delirium Secondary to Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy Following Cardiac Arrest
Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury encompasses a complex constellation of pathophysiological and cellular brain injury induced by hypoxia, ischemia, cytotoxicity, or combinations of these mechanisms and can result in poor outcomes including significant changes in personality and cognitive impairments in memory, cognition, and attention. We report a case of a male patient with normal premorbid functi...
متن کاملEvolution of the stone heart after prolonged cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that progressive impairment in diastolic function during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) precedes evolution of the "stone heart" after failure of CPR. We therefore measured sequential changes in left ventricular (LV) volumes and free-wall thickness of the heart during CPR in an experimental model. DESIGN Prospective, observational animal study. SETTING Medical...
متن کاملNeurological outcome of prolonged coma survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Nine adult survivors of out-of-hospital presumed cardiogenic cardiac arrest, who remained unresponsive for longer than their third hospital day and who eventually were discharged from the acute care hospital, are reported. Their neurological outcome fell into three distinct categories: (a) a persistent vegetative state, (b) able to follow some simple commands but requiring total nursing care, a...
متن کاملA Case of Cardiac Arrest after Topical Phenylephrine Administration in Adenoidectomy Surgery
Some otolaryngologists administer topical phenylephrine for bleeding control in adenoidectomy surgery. Absorption of this drug from surgical site can lead to increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction and then bradycardia related to baroreceptore reflex. Our case was an intraoperative arrest of a 9-yrs-old girl related to administration of topical phenylephrine during adenoidectomy how...
