Survival after pulseless electrical activity cardiac arrest is poor. In this case report we describe a patient who had acute massive pulmonary embolism and was treated with thrombolysis and an automatic mechanical chest compression device, Lund University Cardiac Arrest System (LUCAS 2). Chest compressions were effectively provided for two hours during a prolonged resuscitation and transferral for pulmonary embolectomy. The patient was extubated one day after the operation and discharged with normal cerebral function nine days after the cardiac arrest. |
