CARDIAC ARREST
PSENTATION
INTRODUCTION
 In cardiac arrest, the heart is unable to come and
circulate blood to the body’s organizations. It is often
caused by this arrhythmia, such as ventricular
fibrillation, progressive credit cardiac or a systole that is
absent of cardiac electrical activity and heart muscle
contraction
Definition
 Definition : Sudden, unexpected loss of heart
function, breathing and consciousness. In
cardiac arrest, the heart abruptly stops
beating. Without prompt intervention, it can
result in the person's death .The main
symptom is loss of consciousness and
unresponsiveness.
INCIDENCE
 Incidence : Incidence rates ranged significantly from 35.7 to 128.3 per
100,000, with a mean of 62. Survival rates ranged significantly from
1.6% to 20.7%. Incidence rates in these communities were negatively
related to survival rates; that is, as the incidence rate increased, the
survival rate decreased.
 This study found the annual incidence of SCD to be 53 per 1 lakh
residents constituting 5.6% of total mortality in India . Each year,
approximately 0.1% of the United States population experiences a
medical services-assessed, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. European
studies have a similar incidence ranging from 0.04% to 0.1% of the
population. The median age in the US is between age 66 and 68.
TYPES OF CARDIAC ARREST
 Classifications. Clinicians classify cardiac arrest
into "shockable" versus "non-shockable", as
determined by the EKG rhythm. This refers to
whether a particular class of cardiac dysrhythmia is
treatable using defibrillation.
Clinical manifestation :
 Chest pain or discomfort.
 Feeling of a pounding heartbeat.
 Rapid or irregular heartbeats.
 Unexplained wheezing.
 Shortness of breath.
 Fainting or near fainting.
 Light headedness or dizziness.
 Whole body collapse, fainting, or light-headedness
 Also common: pulselessness, palpitations, or shortness of breath
RISK FACTORS
 A family history of coronary artery disease.
 Smoking.
 High blood pressure.
 High blood cholesterol.
 Obesity.
 Diabetes.
 An inactive lifestyle.
Other things that might increase the risk
of sudden cardiac arrest include:
 A previous episode of sudden cardiac arrest or a family history
of it.
 A previous heart attack.
 A personal or family history of other forms of heart disease
such as heart rhythm problems, heart failure and heart problems
present at birth.
 Growing older — the risk of sudden cardiac arrest increases with age.
 Being male.
 Using illegal drugs such as cocaine or amphetamines.
• Low potassium or magnesium levels.
• A sleep disorder called obstructive sleep apnea.
• Chronic kidney disease.
Heart conditions that cause for sudden
cardiac arrest
 Coronary artery diseases
 Heart attack
 Cardiomegaily
 Heart valve disease
 Heart problem present at birth called congenital defect
 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) and other heart signaling
problems.
Diagnostic tests
 Blood tests. Certain heart proteins slowly leak into the blood after heart damage
from a heart attack. Blood tests can be done to check for these proteins. Other blood
tests are done to check levels of potassium, magnesium, hormones and other body
chemicals that affect the heart's ability to work.
 Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This quick and painless test checks the
electrical activity of the heart. Sensors, called electrodes, are attached to the chest
and sometimes the arms and legs. An ECG can tell how fast or how slowly the heart
is beating. The test can show changes in the heartbeat that increase the risk of
sudden death.
 Echocardiogram. Sound waves create images of the heart in motion. This test can
show how blood flows through the heart and heart valves. It can show heart valve
problems and heart muscle damage.
EXTENSIVE ANTEREOLATERAL INFARCTION
CARDIAC ARRESST
• Ejection fraction. This test is done during an
echocardiogram. It's a measurement of the percentage
of blood leaving the heart each time it squeezes. A
typical ejection fraction is 50% to 70%. An ejection
fraction of less than 40% increases the risk of sudden
cardiac arrest.
• Chest X-ray. This test shows the size and shape
of the heart and lungs. It might also show whether you
have heart failure.
• Nuclear scan. This test is usually done with a stress
test. It helps see blood flow problems to the heart. Tiny
amounts of radioactive material, called a tracer, are given by
IV. Special cameras can see the radioactive material as it flows
through the heart and lungs.
• Cardiac catheterization. This test helps health care
providers see blockages in the heart arteries. A long, thin
flexible tube called a catheter is inserted in a blood vessel,
usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the heart. Dye
flows through the catheter to arteries in the heart. The dye
helps the arteries show up more clearly on X-ray images and
video.
MEDICAL SURGICAL MANEGEMENT
 CPR. Immediate CPR is needed to treat sudden
cardiac arrest and prevent death.
 Resetting the heart rhythm. This is called
defibrillation. You can do this by using an automated
external defibrillator, called an AED, if one is available.
They are found in many public places.
 Medicines to treat irregular heartbeats and to
manage symptoms.
 Heart procedure or surgery to place heart devices
or to treat a blockage.
 Life style changes and home ramedies
