Cardiopulmonary resuscitation after traumatic cardiac arrest is not always futile.
INTRODUCTION The use of guidelines regarding the termination or withholding of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in traumatic cardiac arrest patients remains controversial. This study aimed to describe the outcomes for victims of penetrating and blunt trauma who received prehospital CPR. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of a statewide major trauma registry using data from 2001 to...
متن کاملThe Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
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 کاملUnstandardized Treatment of Electroencephalographic Status Epilepticus Does Not Improve Outcome of Comatose Patients after Cardiac Arrest
OBJECTIVE Electroencephalographic status epilepticus occurs in 9-35% of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. Mortality is 90-100%. It is unclear whether (some) seizure patterns represent a condition in which anti-epileptic treatment may improve outcome, or severe ischemic damage, in which treatment is futile. We explored current treatment practice and its effect on patients' outcome. METHO...
متن کاملNimodipine does not improve neurologic outcome after 14 minutes of cardiac arrest in cats.
We tested the effects of nimodipine upon neurologic outcome in 31 cats subjected to 14 minutes of cardiac arrest followed by resuscitation. With the dose schedule used, nimodipine had no effect upon neurologic outcome or upon the percentage of ischemic neurons in frontal, hippocampal, occipital, or cerebellar brain sections. The electroencephalographic recovery pattern did not correlate with ne...
