we have had two adult men in their forties presenting with an output post
cardiac arrest with ECG evidence pre arrest of MI; both arrests were
witnessed. Both had cardiac sounding pain pre arrest.They were both still
unconscious post arrest and intubated by paramedics. After CT scan, to rule
out ICHaemorhage one was thrombolysed and one was not.The feeling was that
they both should have been thrombolysed.Neither arrest patient had prolonged
CPR to the point of causing broken ribs.In fact both were rapidly
defibrillated.
would you have thrombolysed??
