Presentation
We present a case of azygosve in rupture in a middle-aged woman after repeated chest compression during 1 hour of CPR. She eventually presented with massive hemothorax due to azygos vein rupture diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
This means there is now the possibility for people with heart disease to survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. [kvalitetsregister.se]

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]
In 1993 The American Heart Association began recommending a 325 mg Aspirin at the onset of chest pain or other symptoms of a severe heart attack. [snopes.com]

Conjunctival Petechiae
Although potentially sinister findings, neck injury and conjunctival petechiae may also be seen in patients who have undergone CPR. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal

Upper Back Pain
He was diagnosed with variant angina, and subsequent imaging for evaluation of upper back pain revealed fractures of the fifth through eighth thoracic vertebrae. Multiple thoracic vertebral fractures are extremely rare. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin

Petechiae
Although potentially sinister findings, neck injury and conjunctival petechiae may also be seen in patients who have undergone CPR. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]

Treatment
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]
Our main objective was to determine the prognosis of cardiology patients after cardiorespiratory arrest and to assess whether this may have an impact on their desire for resuscitation. [revespcardiol.org]
Etiology
although the numbers are small, in patients with presumed nonasphyxial arrest (ie, a presumed arrest of cardiac etiology), compression-only CPR was as effective as conventional CPR. [doi.org]
Cardiac arrest can be subdivided into asphyxial and non asphyxial etiologies. An asphyxia arrest is caused by lack of oxygen in the blood and occurs in drowning and choking victims and in other circumstances. [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]
Key Words: cardiopulmonary resuscitation complications dispatcher epidemiology morbidity Received April 9, 2009; accepted September 21, 2009. [web.archive.org]
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was completed by 86 patients. Four patients were not capable of completing the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The mean (SD) score was 8 (8.1). [doi.org]
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, [springer.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]
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]
