Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests carry a poor outcome. The survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest often have devastating consequences due to cerebral hypoxemia. We present a case of 57-year-old male who was admitted to our institution with return of spontaneous circulation after 35 min postcardiac arrest. In addition to urgent percutaneous cardiac catheterization, he was treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia therapy with attainment of target temperature within 120 min of cardiac arrest. The patient demonstrated excellent neurological function and cardiac recovery. |
