, Robert Gluer, MBBS, FRACP, Dale Murdoch, MBBS, FRACPRésumé |
Background |
Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant cause of death affecting approximately 25,000 people in Australia annually.
Methods |
We present an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with prolonged down time and recurrent ventricular arrhythmias treated with extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation.
Results |
The patient survived to hospital discharge with good neurological outcome.
Conclusion |
The patient’s excellent outcome was a result of immediate good quality CPR, high level premorbid function, reversible cause of arrest and rapid access to an ECMO centre.
