Successful prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation after intraoperative cardiac arrest due to povidone-iodine allergy: A case report

Aluminium phosphide (AP) is a pesticide used against rodents and insects. Exposure of AP to water releases phosphine gas. Phosphine is a highly toxic mitochondrial poison to which there is no known antidote. We report a case of a 3-year-old female with accidental home exposure to AP, which resulted in cardiac arrest, who was successfully supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias

Flecainide is a class I antiarrhythmic used for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias with mild adverse reactions. We present a case report in a 78-year-old male that came to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation and was subsequently treated with flecainide. During the infusion, the patient went into cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed until the return of spontaneous circulation was achieved after 1min and 40 seconds. Conclusion. Some trials, like The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), consider flecainide to be safe, but our case report, together with several other published reports brings attention to the use of flecainide in pharmacologic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation as a cause of cardiac arrest.

Case Report. The case of a drowning teenager is described involving application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by an untrained rescuer in the field and fast transport to a hospital enabling a positive resuscitation outcome despite an underorganized emergency medical service in a rural area. In our case hypoxia led to extended functional disorders of the cardiovascular system, which fully recovered after adequate therapy. Conclusion. Knowledge about BLS measures by ordinary citizens, together with continuous education of health professionals concerning modern techniques of CPR, is crucial for increasing the number of patients surviving after cardiac arrest.

Spontaneous Movements

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-induced consciousness is a rarely described and often misunderstood phenomenon, although it can be encountered. High quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may lead a patient to recover consciousness while in cardiac arrest. The authors present the case of an 89-year-old male patient who received CPR after a cardiac arrest. Spontaneous movements during CPR were noted and prompted several CPR interruptions. These movements immediately stopped during chest compression pauses. Physical restraint was used in order to be able to continue with the CPR algorithm, but sedation may be the best approach. Guidelines on how to identify and manage these cases need to be developed.
