Resumen
VIRUEZ SOTO, José Antonio et al. Postcardiac arrest syndrome in obstretic critical care. Rev. Asoc. Mex. Med. Crít. Ter. Intensiva [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.3, pp.152-156. ISSN 0187-8433.
It is reported that even 70% of patients that present cardiac arrest (CA), die after few days, however there is a wide variability on survival, perhaps related to differences in the post cardiac arrest period; therefore a last link was proposed in the assistance of cardiac arrest, the post cardiac arrest syndrome critical care. The available evidence about the treatment of the CA in obstetrics is relatively insufficient, that is the reason of this study that describes the evolution of patients that presented CA admitted to the Critical Care Obstetrics Unit of Hospital General de México "Dr. Eduardo Liceaga" during 2014. It is worth mentioning that none of the patients died. The main causes of CA were related to non-arrhythmogenic causes. Patients that present CA in this report are young and without relevant comorbidities, that obviously was associated to the majority of favorable results, cataloged as Rankin score of 1. This paper suggests the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post cardiac arrest critical care based in favorable neurological results.
