Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine and cardiac arrest

t know if I would go so far as to say you are going into cardiac arrest the fact that you are sensing a long pause of some sort needs to be investigated. Please visit your doctor to get reevaluated. If you do not have any other troubling symptoms that may be a good sign you have nothing to worry about but please do go get checked out, a doctor really needs to make that call. Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Cardiac arrest indicates the heart has stopped beating. Heart failure is a condition of the heart's inability to pump adequately and can lead to cardiac arrest. An arrhythmia is condition of irregular heartbeats and can lead to cardiac arrest as well.
Thanks for your question and take care.
s electrical system is sensitive to medication and the interaction of chemical elements, electrolytes, sodium, etc. can disrupt an electrical impulse and cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest causes heart failure and would be secondary to cardiac arrest (an electrical dysfunction). From the information you provide that appears to be the situation.
Mild resuscitative hypothermia after cardiac arrest improves neurological outcome and reduces mortality in comatose survivors. The ability to survive anoxic no-flow states is dramatically increased with protective and preservative hypothermia.
Outcome of brain injury depends on various factors like duration of ischaemia to the brain and extent of damage in the brain.
In general the only needles that may be uncapped that go into the sharps are bicarb, epinephrine and other cardiac drugs used during an arrest that are only inserted into the tubing of the intravenous line. Years ago needles were placed directly into the box, but even then the liklihood of contracting HIV, even with an actual needle stick were very small.
Now, a leading doctor at this hospital claims that there is no way a head trauma like the one experienced, or any for that matter, could cause the victim to enter cardiac arrest. The view is that this victim had to have had entered cardiac arrest possibly while running or at some point along the way, but NOT from the actual head trauma. Maybe hereditary condition (but unbeknownst to individual).
I'm thinking cardiac arrest isn't the actual term they used? Cardiac arrest is a heart attack. But in general, it sounds like you had yourself checked out and they couldn't find any heart health issues? Are you sure it's your blood vessels? Why do you think that? Muscles (and we have gazillions, even super tiny little one) twitching is very common. That can be due to fatigue, anxiety or even too much caffeine.
1 day 1/2 ago my grandfather went into a coma after cardiac arrest. When he first went into cardiac arrest my cousin was there performing cpr on him but could not find a pulse. according to the doctors he was "clinically dead" for 27 minutes. now he is in what the neurologist called a "deep coma" we are told that he will have severe damage, so the question is there ant hope.
Plus and a big PLUS is your family history. I am a RN and have worked cardiac for many years and I have to say, it sounds like you have been ruled out to having problems with your heart. Your heart is a muscle and needs exercise to keep it in shape, just like all your other muscles. At your age and being a basketball player, exercise and pushing it is the best thing for you! You are healthy! Tell yourself that over and over and over until your brain believes you! Seriously!
She felt a little dizzy and went to the ER.. The nurse went to get a bed pan and my Mom had a sudden cardiac arrest, her heart stopped. They started life saving measuresand it took 20 minutes to get her back. They said all that time she suffered severe brain damage from lack of oxygen.She coded in the ER. I blame myself and I blame the ddoctors for not doing enough. I am I'm in my 20s and my last living relative my grandpa passed away.I don't know my Dad.
when people have a cardiac arrest, they are often unable to protect their airway, and subquently need to be intubated and placed on a vent. Additionally, when people are on vent, they are generally very sick, and as such, there are a number of potential factors which may lead to a cardiac arrest (rather than the vent itself).
Is it possible for post motor vehicle accident trauma to neck to result in delayed onset of
rapid upper lung breathing without lower lung, perhaps due to impaired diaphram, to lead to serum acidosis, respiratory arrest and coronary arrest? Prior to arrest experienced bowel dumping with loss of sphincter control.
Apparently aspirated during CPR, developed double lung pneumonia and kidney failure.
All better now, praise God.
Ruled out heart, lung and kidney problems.
A patient 90 years old, suffering congestion, dry cough, urinary infection, under dosage of cough syrup was sleepy. Then was given Cefuroxime, Linezolid antibiotic, corex syp and metolazone diuretics when partially conscious. He didnt eat much drank 50 ml water in last 14 hours and nothing after that. Later in the evening his oxygen was down to 70 SpO2. In 1.5 hours he was given oxygen with oxygen machine and the oxygen started to increase in a bit.
On October 5th 2008, I went into cardiac arrest. After a few minutes, I was brought back. I spent a week in the hospital. A few weeks before all this, I started getting severe pressure in my chest, down my arms and up into my neck. I was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Spasms. Since leaving the hospital I have had few more attacks, not as severe but still painful. I've heard this is a rare condition.
For example two people are dying or an infection, CPR and Defibrillation are applied in a cardiac emergency, but one patient is stabilized, while the other is not and dies.
I'm sort of looking for a more in depth explanation here, I'm guessing its got something to do with the chemistry in the heart or the nerves that control it? Thank you.
