383138 tn?1314167773 But since I had such severe heart reaction to just a shot of lidocaine at dentist in the past, the cardiologist said I am lucky I didnt go into cardiac arrest at that time and if they put lidocaine in me again he said my heart may suddenly fail (sudden cardiac arrest) and it may not be able to recover next time. And the warnings on lidocaine (even for people w/out heart problems) are such things as: rare but possible arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I have been checked for a heart arythmia as well as an echocardiogram. Nothing was found. Could I have actually had a sudden cardiac arrest that I somehow recovered from?
Avatar m tn I have already written that i have mitral trivial regulation but without mitral valve prolapse.i have read that mvp has very rare cases of sudden cardiac arrest what about mitral valve regulation does it have any risk even a little one?
Avatar n tn Someone I know recently suffered a Cardiac Arrest in the Critial Care Unit of a hospital. While I am uncertain about length of time the medical team responded to him, I am assuming it was within 1-3 minutes. His heart began beating after 20 minutes after the team began the rescussication procedures. After 24 hours of having the Induced Hypothermia Technique utilized, his heart begun beating on its own. Given the circumstances, what would the probabale outcome be with respect to brain injury?
406412 tn?1217438384 Hi Sudden cardiac death is also known as sudden cardiac arrest. All known heart diseases can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. However, the most common cause are cardiac arrhythmias where irregular heart rhythm causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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).
955560 tn?1250194545 I am just curious but someone posted about a Doctor dieing from cardiac arrest from anxiety.I am just curious can that really happen can you really die from cardiac arrest in anxiety..Can someone answer that for me and let me know..I have been checked for a cat scan, blood test, and a EKG so i am just curious if i should get checked for other things and just to make sure there isnt anything wrong bad..When becomes to something like SCA that freaks me out..
Avatar f tn 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.
1528249 tn?1291875739 i have uploaded my ECG in my pictures on my profile i think in my ecg i can see R waves?but maybe im wrong??because if there are R waves maybe i was not in cardiac arrest?? any help is much appreciated i am very worried It did happen suddenly, i was at the mall,luckily this mall had a defib. I have had all the tests and i have a normal heart overall except obviously this, my cardiologist at the hospital tho,just put an implantable reveal device in i thought best would have been an ICD?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn If person suffered cardiac arrest and was cooled off and warmed up, and did not regain comciousness what test should be done to check brain activiy?
Avatar m tn the chances of having your heart stop (cardiac arrest) is 1/10 of 1% with the average age being 65. On top of which 75% of people who have cardiac arrest have previously had a heart attack, 80% have heart disease, and the average ejection fraction of someone who's had a cardiac arrest is 30 or lower. There is no chance what so ever for a normal heart that's had every test known available to progress to the point of being in danger of cardiac arrest in a few months.
Avatar n tn Did your husband have a heart attack or cardiac arrest? They are not the same thing. It sounds like you're describing cardiac arrest. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest, but a person can also have cardiac arrest without having a heart attack. If your husband had cardiac arrest and is experiencing arrhythmia he or you may want to inquire about getting an ICD. Good luck!
Avatar f tn If there is quick treatment within hours to cardiac arrest, there can be complete recovery as the heart cells may just be stunned and revitalized with good supply of oxygenated blood. Yes, blood flow to the brain is also an issue, and it is good news there has been no damage there as well. What may be of some concern is what is the underlying cause for the cardiac arrest. If it is arrhythmia pace maker that shocks the heart for any arrhythmia episodes can be beneficial.
Avatar f tn 5 years and was out for at least 3 minutes all of those times because the person I had with me told me, and then last october I went into cardiac arrest and acute respiratory failure but they have no idea why. for the past 2.5 years my heart-rate has not gone below 100 and the other day it was 152!!! but normally runs around 110. before those 2.5 years my heart-rate was consistently in the 60's. I am athletic but now I am nervous because my heart rate is already high!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
