- Abstract
The present article describes a case of a successful outcome of post-resuscitation disease after prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the prehospital stage in a patient with clinical death due to hypothermia. The unknown, a young man, was admitted to the Emergency Medical Center by an emergency medical team (EMS) after resuscitation measures lasting 240 minutes (4 hours), during which repeated episodes of fibrillation of ventricles and pulse-free electrical activity of the heart were observed. After restoring blood circulation, the patient was hospitalized in the intensive care unit, where a complex of resuscitation measures was continued, which included respiratory and hemodynamic support, prevention of secondary hypoxic damage to the central nervous system and other organs and systems of the body, as well as warming and local treatment of local frostbites. After 72 hours, medicinal sedation was stopped, transmission to spontaneous breathing was carried out in stages, and after 14 days from the moment of hospitalization, the patient in a state of moderate severity, without neurological deficiency and with satisfactory clinical and laboratory indicators was transferred to the department for patients with thermal trauma, where treatment of local frostbites was continued. Thus, a timely and full-fledged set of resuscitation measures at the prehospital stage, adherence to the continuity of treatment of the patient in the hospital made it possible to achieve a favorable outcome in the patient with repeated and prolonged episodes of clinical death.
