  • Title: [Disturbances of the neurohumoral regulation in patients in critical illness and post-resuscitation period].
    Author: Mysiak A.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2000 Jun; 8(48):424-9. PubMed ID: 10967925.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac arrest (CA) is an extreme stressful situation accompanied by impairment of hypotalamichypophyseal axis resulting from many reasons, specially when cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been delayed or prolonged. The author compares dysfunction of the neurohormonal system, including the release of hypophyseal and adrenal hormones, atrial natriuretic hormone and endothelin in patients in critical illness as well as in those after cardiac arrest. Associated consequences for the maintenance of homeostasis in postresuscitation period have also presented.
