Myocardial dysfunction after resuscitation from cardiac arrest: an example of global myocardial stunning.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of prolonged cardiac arrest and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function. BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation results in cessation of forward blood flow, including myocardial blood flow. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, myocardial blood flow remains suboptimal. Once the h...
متن کاملMyocardial stunning following respiratory arrest.
Myocardial stunning is defined as a prolonged myocardial dysfunction with gradual return of contractile activity after a brief episode of severe ischemia. Usually it is seen in patients with myocardial infarction following treatment with thrombolytic agents, in patients with angina, and in patients recovering from cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. We report an interesting case of myocardial stunn...
متن کاملMovement disorders after resuscitation from cardiac arrest.
It is difficult to predict precisely the final neurologic outcome from cardiac arrest and accompanying cerebral hypoxia. Although rare, several movement disorders may arise as a consequence of hypoxic injury, including myoclonus, dystonia, akinetic-rigid syndromes, tremor, and chorea. Dys-function of various portions of the central nervous system, including the basal ganglia, thalamus, midbrain...
متن کاملBrain function after resuscitation from cardiac arrest.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In industrial countries the incidence of cardiac arrest is still increasing. Almost 80% of cardiac arrest survivors remains in coma for varying lengths of time and full cerebral recovery is still a rare event. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, cerebral recirculation disturbances and complex metabolic postreflow derangements lead to death of vulnerable neurons wit...
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...
