چکیده
this report details the presence of hyperammonemia in a patient who sustained cardiac arrest after a traumatic amputation. serum ammonia levels may rise due to numerous etiologies; however, few reports detail its usefulness in diagnosing subclinical seizures. in this case, we successfully utilized persistently elevated serum ammonia levels as a marker of subclinical seizures in a patient who sustained traumatic cardiac arrest.

Hyperammonemia as a Marker of Subclinical Seizures After Traumatic Cardiac Arrest
This report details the presence of hyperammonemia in a patient who sustained cardiac arrest after a traumatic amputation.

In this case, we successfully utilized persistently elevated serum ammonia levels as a marker of subclinical seizures in a patient who su...
متن کاملA Case of Cardiac Arrest after Topical Phenylephrine Administration in Adenoidectomy Surgery
Some otolaryngologists administer topical phenylephrine for bleeding control in adenoidectomy surgery. Absorption of this drug from surgical site can lead to increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction and then bradycardia related to baroreceptore reflex. Our case was an intraoperative arrest of a 9-yrs-old girl related to administration of topical phenylephrine during adenoidectomy how...
متن کاملPredictive value of phosphorylated neuro-filament h as a marker of brain injury after cardiac arrest
Intr Anoxic brain insult is a sequalae of tissue hypoperfusion during cardiac arrest that may lead to varieties of neurological outcome in patients [1].One of the main drawbacks in the diagnosis of brain injury post-cardiac arrest is the absence of a widely available and rapid diagnostic test. pNFH might be an ideal biomarker for brain injury as it is axon specific [2],highly immunogenic [3] an...
متن کامل[Serum neuron-specific enolase as a prognostic marker after a cardiac arrest].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac arrest is a state of severe cerebral perfusion deficit. Patients recovering from a cardiopulmonary resuscitation are at great risk of subsequent death or incapacitating neurologic injury, including persistent vegetative state. The early definition of prognosis for these patients has ethical and economic implications. The main purpose of this manuscript was to r...
متن کاملSerial soluble neurofilament heavy chain in plasma as a marker of brain injury after cardiac arrest
INTRODUCTION Induced hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome after cardiac arrest, but early prognostication is hampered by the need for sedation. Here we tested whether a biomarker for neurodegeneration, the neurofilament heavy chain (NfH), may improve diagnostic accuracy in the first days after cardiac arrest. METHODS This prospective study included 90 consecutive patients treated wit...
متن کاملS-100B protein: An early prognostic marker after cardiac arrest.
The identification of a good prognostic factor of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest is needed. S-100B protein seems to be a promising early predictor of brain damage. Yet it is necessary to reach a consensus on cut-off values, time of blood sampling and the predictive accuracy of S-100B protein. The present review summarizes the data about the clinical implications of S-100B protein aft...
