Ultrasound Guidance of Thrombolytic Therapy in Pulseless Electrical Activity: A Case Report

Application of ultrasound in pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cardiac arrest

Pulseless electrical activity in acute massive pulmonary embolism during thrombolytic therapy

We report a case of acute pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic instability diagnosed by a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram. The patient developed pulseless electrical activity during systemic thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Successful return of spontaneous circulation was achieved after immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation with chest compressions for...

Successful thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator for massive pulmonary embolism -A case report-

Massive pulmonary embolism is associated with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. We report here on a case of a 69-year-old man who suffered a massive pulmonary embolism with pulseless electrical activity during knee arthroscopic surgery. After a diagnosis was made by performing transthoracic echocardiography, the patient was treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activ...

Pulseless electrical activity during electroconvulsive therapy: a case report

BACKGROUND Arrhythmias resulting in cardiac arrest during electroconvulsive therapy have been reported. Most reported cases of cardiac arrest had asystole as the initial rhythm. Pulseless electrical activity as an initial rhythm of cardiac arrest during electroconvulsive therapy has never been reported. Also, thromboembolism after inflation of pneumatic tourniquet during lower limb surgery has ...

Pulseless electrical activity in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of causative factors and treatment.

Pulseless electrical activity, an arrhythmia that leads to cardiac arrest, is defined as the presence of organized electrical activity without a palpable pulse or arterial blood pressure. When this arrhythmia presents during anesthesia, it has become routine practice to initiate advanced cardiac life support according to the American Heart Association guidelines. This arrhythmia is usually asso...
