The researchers estimated the average annual incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States to be 292,000 adult and 15,200 pediatric cases, of which 7,100 and 8,100 were
pulseless cardiac arrests and nonpulseless events, respectively.
This disease is also referred as
pulseless disease, aortic arch syndrome, young female arteritis, and idiopathic aortitis.
Mr Simms told the inquest he checked the rhythm of Hayley's heart when he attended the incident and found it to be
pulseless electrical activity (PEA).
Hydra-Cell's multiple diaphragms work in sequence to produce a virtually
pulseless liquid flow, removing the need for pulsation dampeners in most installations, saving further installation and maintenance costs.
Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival-to-discharge ratios are higher in patients with
pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), and the ROSC ratio is higher during respiratory arrest (3,4).
Patient's general look was improved after antitoxin administration and she started taking orally but unfortunately next day patient suddenly again went into
pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
The exact cause of intra ventricular haemorrhage and its association with IAA could not be further evaluated as unfortunately, on 7th day of admission patient became
pulseless. Resuscitation was done but the patient could not be revived.
- Other causes of SCA and SCD are asystole and
pulseless electrical activity.
Like its two pretty mediocre predecessors, it continues in the same
pulseless narrative vein, yet as it is the last one might have hoped for some kind of memorable send off.
The rhythms were classified as asystole,
pulseless electrical activity (PEA) or ventricular fibrillation (VF).
An 87-year-old male with medical history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on 20 mg of rivaroxaban daily, recent
pulseless ventricular tachycardia with implantable cardiac defibrillator in situ, and nonischemic cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction 35%) presented to the emergency room (ER) with intermittent chest pain and light headedness of 2 days duration.
Shortly after the procedure, she experienced hemorrhagic shock, cardiac arrest with
pulseless electrical activity, and death soon after.
The patient had a complicated postoperative course that included a prolonged intensive care unit stay, postoperative hemorrhage, respiratory failure, sepsis, and
pulseless electrical activity cardiac arrest.
All the patients with
pulseless VT (33%) were defibrillated but the stable VT with pulse were treated with anti-arrhythmic drugs (28%) and unstable VT with pulse (72%) received synchronized cardioversion.
