[Thrombolysis in treatment of cardiac arrest caused by pulmonary embolism.] [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
Ugeskr Laeger 2008 Sep 1; 170(36):2803.
Some cases of pulmonary embolism are complicated by cardiac arrest. We report such a case in which treatment included thrombolysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Complete recovery was achieved. This supports the fact that - as stated in the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation 2005 - treatment with a thrombolytic agent should be considered when cardiac arrest is considered to be caused by pulmonary embolism.
