Results of treatment methods in cardiac arrest following coronary artery bypass grafting.

16 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Emergency re-revascularization and invasive/noninvasive interventions in intensive care unit (ICU) are two main treatment methods in cardiac arrest following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We evaluated the ... Read more...

A hemodynamic profile for consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

30 Oct 2009 We report the quantification of a hemodynamic profile sufficient to support consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 62-yr-old man experienced cardiac arrest while being evaluated for heart failure after heart transplantation. During ... Read more...

[Cardiac arrest in child caused by button battery in the oesophagus and complicated by aorto-oesophageal fistula]

17 Oct 2009 Ingestion of button battery can result in serious complications if the battery becomes lodged in the oesophagus. We report a case of a 14-month-old child who died from exanguination due to aorto-oesophageal fistula caused by a lithium button battery ... Read more...
