Why are so several race powerless to be resuscitated after cardiac arrest?
Let's take Jackson's story as an example. And let's suppose he overdosed on medication (which he probably did). Why couldn't they have just kept him on a piece of equipment that circulates the blood and ventilates the lungs until the point that his cardiovascular system is able to do it autonomously? The same way they do for ancestors who are undergoing heart surgery.
Answers:
Cell death in the brain have occured. Cell death in the heart has occured. 911 be not called in time.
In cardiovascular surgery, there's a team there to operate the piece of equipment, and your chest is already open. Should you die at home, I suppose your girlfriend could pull the ventilator and the bypass machine out of your corridor closet, intubate you, set the vent, crack your chest with a butcher knife, and get you on the tool, all inside the four minutes you have before your brain's turned to oatmeal, but that's a heck of a great deal faster than any cardiovascular team has ever been competent to manage, so good luck with that. Oh, and you do enjoy heparin and a full blood bank at home, too, don't you?
The bottom line is that dying is just not virtuous for your health.
the answer to this is complex, but i will try to give the readers digest magazine.
1. the cardac bypass machine or an intra-aortic baloon pump with a ventilator is extremely complicated- there is no guarantee it will work- and worst- it could work- as surrounded by keep the body alive- only to find out brain death have occurred- so you end up of the dilemma of "pulling the plug"
usually after a person has be down more than 6 minutes- brain damage is certain. i've told my husband that if he finds me dead- he'd better leave me alone, unless he is indisputable it has only been a minute or two.
another basis that resusutation is not as successful in the field is because the "usual" lethal arrythmias are vetricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia- respond best to drugs (epinephrine and the like) and defibrillation. asystole- no cardiac commotion is what happens after VT and VF are not treated. you can try drugs, cpr, external cardiac pacemaker- but honestly- 14 years in an icu and i can only devise of maybe 1-2 times someone came back from asystole.
hope thats what you be looking for, but "Peter" will probably explain it a little better. Source(s): retired icu nurse
