Cardiac arrest following a glucose 30% bolus: what happened?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 74-year-old man was admitted with postoperative peritonitis. On day 45, a double-lumen central venous catheter was positioned in the patient’s right subclavian vein. The distal lumen was used only for parenteral nutrition (2,000 ml/day Kabiven® 1600; Fresenius Kabi Brezin, France). Glucose 5% (250 ml) with 6 g potassium was infused, over 24 hours, via the proximal lumen. Hypokalemia was noted (K+, 3.0 mEq/l). An additional infusion of potassium was initiated (34 mEq in 10 ml, at 17 mEq/hour) via the proximal lumen.

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...

Objective: Survival-to-discharge rates following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients remain significantly low. The use of initial documented cardiac rhythm as predictor of Survival-to-discharge is still unclear. This study aimed to assess whether the initial documented rhythm can be used as a predictor of survival-to-discharge following IHCA in an emergency department of the tertiary car...
متن کاملEstablishing An Asphyxial Pulseless Electrical Activity Arrest Model In Rabbits
Objective:Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) is an increasingly frequent cardiac rhythm in the arrested patient. We determined to establish an intact animal model of asphyxial PEA of variable duration that may be utilized for evaluation of agents of potential benefit in this scenario. Method:Instrumented adult New Zealand White rabbits underwent induction of hypoxic PEA via tracheal cross-clam...
