What happens when you have cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest can be improved by general treatment, symptomatic treatment, and treatment for causes.

1. General treatment

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately after cardiac arrest, and open airway oxygen therapy and circulatory support should be sent to hospital as soon as possible. Avoid changing the patient's position many times during the onset process to prevent foreign bodies in the mouth from choking and causing suffocation.

2, symptomatic treatment of

cardiac arrest patients blood pressure drop, cardiac arrest, adrenaline, dopamine and other drugs should be used to increase blood pressure. Patients can also use propafenone, verapamil, amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic drugs to restore heart rhythm.

3.

Patients with cardiac arrest caused by acute myocardial infarction can be treated by percutaneous coronary intervention, emergency coronary artery bypass grafting and other surgical methods. Patients with cardiac arrest caused by heart failure can be treated with diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, positive inotropic drugs, etc., which can reduce the burden on the heart. If drug treatment fails, surgical implantation of cardioverter defibrillator, heart transplantation surgery, etc. can be considered for treatment.
