Presentation
We present a case of gastric perforation in a middle-aged patient after CPR performed by his family. He eventually presented with bloody vomitus and a tympanic abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Sepsis
From this clinical course, we finally diagnosed that the severe sepsis was concomitant with myocardial depression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Aim 4 - To determine the degree to which provider's perception of CPR quality matches actual quality of CPR Aim 5 - To describe the task load of healthcare providers in sepsis and cardiac arrest scenarios Participants will be recruited from ten pediatric [clinicaltrials.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Heart Disease
METHODS: Between 1984 and 2015, all patients with congenital heart disease who received in or out-of-hospital CPR were identified from the database of congenital heart disease from the University Hospitals Leuven. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prompt CPR and rapid paramedic response can improve the chances of survival from a heart attack. CONTINUE SCROLLING OR CLICK HERE FOR RELATED SLIDESHOW QUESTION In the U.S., 1 in every 4 deaths is caused by heart disease. See Answer [medicinenet.com]
A large percentage of people who die of heart disease suffer from a sudden “electrical chaos” in the heart, ventricular fibrillation, leading to cardiac arrest. [kvalitetsregister.se]
The 2015 American Heart Association report on Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics [ 1 ] states that there are more than 326,000 cardiac arrests in the United States each year. The overall survival to hospital discharge remains grim at 5.6%. [omicsonline.org]
- Chest Pain
The pain is often described as "an elephant sitting on my chest" Pain or discomfort that spreads to the shoulders, neck, arms, or jaw Chest pain that gets worse Chest pain that doesn't go away after rest or by taking prescription heart medicine Chest [uhhospitals.org]
He visited a local hospital's emergency department complaining of chest pain and dyspnea that had started 3 days earlier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This usually causes chest pain and leads to damage to some of the muscle of the heart. It may cause cardiac arrest, particularly in the early stages, but this is not inevitable. [resus.org.uk]
Neurologic
- Seizure
Reported complications included hemorrhage (31.3%), limb complications (11.1%), circuit complications (8.8%), infection (7.4%), and seizures (5.5%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Seizures may sometimes occur, and may be continuous (status epilepticus). Most people who make a full recovery were only briefly unconscious. [mountsinai.org]
For these patients, EMS most often determined that the patient had a drug or alcohol overdose, seizure, syncope, cerebrovascular event, or hypoglycemia. [doi.org]
- Aphasia
Fluctuations in arousal and response to command further confound the reliability of clinical assessment. 7, 8 Underlying central and peripheral impairments, such as aphasia, neuromuscular abnormalities, and sensory deficits, may also mask conscious awareness [doi.org]
Workup
Autopsy and histological workup in all three cases showed multiple circumscribed calcified and necrotic areas in progressive stages of organization within the myocardium. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finally, two of the five PE patients treated with ECLS were discharged from inpatient treatment without neurological dysfunction. The duration of ECLS therapy depends on the patient's condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Congenital chromosomal abnormality with trisomy 13 is known to be associated with poor life prognosis and lethal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the decision to transport a patient resides with the responsible emergency physician who has to evaluate the prognosis for the patient on an individual basis. [thieme-connect.com]
Etiology
For arrests of respiratory etiology, COCPR was administered in 9 of 150 patients (6%; 95% CI, 2.2%-9.8%). [doi.org]

Among 5272 adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac etiology not observed by responding emergency medical personnel, 779 were excluded because bystander CPR was provided by a health care professional or the arrest occurred in a medical facility [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Objective:: To study epidemiology and prognostic factors associated with cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU) in an average Brazilian center. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Topics of interest include the epidemiology of sudden death; management of ventilation; chest compression technique training; public access defibrillation; drug delivery during CPR; the latest drug therapies; and cardiac arrest in disease, pregnancy, [amazon.com]

Pathophysiology
However, the pathophysiology of the delayed return of spontaneous circulation remains enigmatic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This finding suggests that chronic conditions influence arrest pathophysiology and in turn could help guide resuscitation care. [doi.org]
"We still do not know the pathophysiological mechanism of hypothermia, which is necessary to developing the best way to rewarm hypothermia victims," Tveita explained. [eurekalert.org]
Prevention
To prevent neurological damage, therapeutic hypothermia was used, and she was cooled for 24 hours. After therapeutic hypothermia, her Glasgow coma score was 15, fortunately no sequela appeared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To prevent disease transmission during CPR, face masks and face shields are available to prevent direct contact during rescue breathing. CPR in basic life support. [healthofchildren.com]
Prevention Prevention depends on the specific cause of hypoxia. Unfortunately, hypoxia is usually unexpected. This makes the condition somewhat difficult to prevent. [mountsinai.org]
