Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 53 year old diabetic patient underwent CABG and aortic valve replacement in another institution and developed postoperative oliguric and hyperkalemic acute renal failure. Shortly after transferring to our unit a cardiac arrest occurred. Immediate resuscitative measures were ineffective. The serum potassium level was 10.2 mmol/l. Conventional arteriovenous hemodialysis was initiated while the patient was still undergoing cardiac massage. When the serum potassium level was lowered to 6.5 mmol/l, 90 min later, the heart began to beat. After hemodialysis was discontinued the patient was reactive and fully conscious. The use of simultaneous hemodialysis with prolonged mechanical heart massage as a reliable method for recovery in hyperkalemic cardiac standstill is stressed. |
