This case study shows successful prolonged resuscitation without hypothermia, achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after one hour. The patient made a full recovery, highlighting predictors of survival in prolonged resuscitation efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) necessitates immediate and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
  • Prolonged resuscitation efforts are often associated with poor prognoses, especially without therapeutic hypothermia.
  • The optimal duration and predictors of survival in prolonged resuscitation remain areas of active investigation.

Observation:

  • A case of prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) lasting 1 hour was managed without therapeutic hypothermia.
  • Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved in a challenging pre-hospital and emergency department setting.
  • Coronary artery stenting was successfully performed 2 hours and 45 minutes post-collapse.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved ROSC after 1 hour of continuous resuscitation.

  • Successful coronary intervention was performed despite the prolonged ischemic time.
  • The patient experienced a remarkable recovery, with discharge after a 12-week hospital stay and full recovery within 12 months.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests that prolonged resuscitation, even without hypothermia, can lead to favorable outcomes in select patients.
    • Identifying key predictors of survival in prolonged resuscitation is crucial for guiding clinical decision-making.
    • Further research into the nuances of prolonged resuscitation strategies may improve patient survival rates in critical cardiac events.
