  • Title: Uncommon cause of cardiac arrest in the emergency department.
    Author: Clarke B, Ryan G, Fraser J, Francis L.
    Journal: Emerg Med Australas; 2007 Apr; 19(2):169-72. PubMed ID: 17448105.
    Abstract:
    A previously healthy 48-year-old woman presented to a peripheral ED with non-specific signs and symptoms, including vomiting, abdominal cramping, shortness of breath, tachycardia and hypertension. Despite supportive measures the patient rapidly deteriorated, resulting in a cardiac arrest during an interhospital transfer. This required aggressive resuscitation, but without success. The case represents a diagnostic dilemma in the ED regarding the diagnosis and initial management of the patient's presentation.
