Introduction: Intraoperative cardiac arrest (ICA) is a feared complication during liver transplantation (LTx), typically occurring during reperfusion. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been used for post-reperfusion cardiac arrest. Case report: We present a case of successful resuscitation after hyperkalemic ICA during the pre-anhepatic phase of a second liver transplantation by converting veno-venous bypass (VVB) to VA-ECMO. Discussion: While this technique has been recommended for ICA during reperfusion, it has never been reported during the pre-anhepatic phase. VA-ECMO can be a lifesaving extension to cardiopulmonary resuscitation for ICA during LTx with beneficial neurological outcome by providing perfusion while the cause of ICA is reversed. Conclusion: Conversion of VVB to VA-ECMO should be considered in all patients who suffer from ICA during LTx with use of VVB. With VVB installed, conversion to VA-ECMO is fast and effective. If VVB is not used, early VA-ECMO should be considered for ICA.

Aluminium Phosphide

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).

In this report we describe the use of intraoperative venoarterial ECMO as salvage therapy in a unique case of post-reperfusion intracardiac thrombosis during liver transplantation with prolonged ACLS and coagulopathy. The limited literature on intraoperative ECMO as salvage therapy in liver transplantation is reviewed.

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.
