We present a novel perspective of both the workup and therapeutic interventions geared toward the emergency physician during the first few hours of care. We describe how the immediate care of a post‐cardiac arrest patient is resource intensive and requires simultaneous evaluation for the underlying ...
- Electrical cardioversion/defibrillation: in patients with cardiac arrest, basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) should be followed. Electrical defibrillation should be performed for VF, pulseless VT, and hemodynamically unstable VT. Electrical cardioversion may ...
Primary prevention was defined as ICD implantation to reduce SCD in at-risk individuals who had not yet experienced an aborted cardiac arrest or life-threatening arrhythmia. Secondary prevention was defined as ICD implantation in patients who already had experienced an aborted cardiac arrest or life-...
The monitoring and management of cardiac irAEs has been well described by Palaskas and Spallarosa; a diagnostic workup including the use of laboratory values (Troponin I, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic (BNP) peptide, BNP), imaging (12-lead electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic re...
After hemodynamic stabilization and baseline workup, the patient was subjected to laparotomy. Per-operatively, the patient had to be started on ionotropic supports. Immediate post operative, the patient had a cardiac arrest and was kept on ventilator and ionotropic supports. Subsequently, the patient...
Unlike Impella, VA-ECMO may be initiated rapidly at the bedside and is the optimal MCS strategy during cardiac arrest. The largest systematic review to date of 358 peripartum ECMO runs demonstrated a 75.4% 30-day and 74.3% 1-year maternal survival [62]. Furthermore, among the patients ...
enzyme analyses in lymphocytes and even fibroblasts were needed before a final conclusion could be drawn. In infants where diagnostic work-up revealed maternal B12 deficiency, a protocol with a year-long follow-up was recommended, and the last day of visit was noted as the day of closure of ...
In infants where diagnostic work-up revealed maternal B12 deficiency, a protocol with a year-long follow-up was recommended, and the last day of visit was noted as the day of closure of the false-positive case. Nevertheless, our impression of the fraction of FP cases admitted at our ...
