2021, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Check for signs of tension pneumothorax and treat accordingly, noting that needle decompression alone may be insufficient to relieve a tension pneumothorax.561,566 Disconnect from positive pressure ventilation if air-trapping and hyperinflation occurs and apply pressure to manually reduce the hyperinflation: Some case reports have reported ROSC in patients with air trapping when the tracheal tube was disconnected.567–573 If dynamic hyperinflation of the lungs is suspected during CPR, compression of the chest while disconnecting the tracheal tube may relieve air trapping.572,574
Spontaneous defibrillation after cessation of resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A case of Lazarus phenomenon
2007, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Linko et al. described the spontaneous recovery of three patients after discontinued cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 1982.1 Since then, at least 30 cases of patients with spontaneous return of circulation after cessation of resuscitation have been reported.2,4–25 Despite this, medical negligence is still associated with this phenomenon in some cases.22
