Abstract
An 82 year-old male patient with past medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, COPD, diabetes mellitus (Type 2), chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease and recently treated diarrhea was brought to the emergency department (ED) from home after he vomited, aspirated and developed severe respiratory distress. He was emergently intubated on arrival to ED. Shortly after intubation, he became hypotensive, bradycardic and went into cardiac arrest. During ACLS, the patient required a total of 17 minutes of CPR and 2 shocks. He received 2 liters of normal saline solution intravenously and multiple doses of epinephrine, sodium bicarbonate and calcium gluconate. He was also started on amiodarone and epinephrine infusions. Blood tests were obtained before the cardiac arrest, with a limited panel collected immediately after the patient regained circulation. These values are shown in Table 1.
