Abstract

Up to 70% of extrahospital cardiac arrests are due to acute myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism. A case report published in the journal Resuscitation shows excellent survival rates and neurological outcomes in selected patients with a high probability of myocardial infarction, who suffer from cardiac arrest and are treated with intrapaired fibrinolysis. A good neurological outcome may occur after prolonged resuscitation. The early intervention of the witnesses initiating the resuscitation has established itself as one of the key actions for the good final prognosis of these patients, barely reaching 30% of the stops. Despite the disappointing results of the study (TROICA), outpatient fibrinolysis during CPR in selected patients can be highly beneficial with excellent survival rates and neurological outcomes.
