ABSTRACT

A study was conducted in a female patient who spent 89 days with a recurrence of 14 cardiac arrests, evolved for a year, where epidemiological variables were taken into account as well as general clinics, typical of the arrests and survival. The patient came up with respiratory failure and sepsis, and both led to tissue hypoxia. There were a total of 14 events, all of them occurred in severe bradycardia. Epinephrine was used in the 14 events ( 100%). 100% of the events were attended within the first minute arrest with advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers and most had a total time of resuscitation which did not exceed 8 minutes .The spontaneous circulation was achieved by systematic cardiac care and maintained with mechanical ventilation for 73 days. At discharge the patient survived with moderate brain impairment and with one year of physiotherapy and rehabilitation and support of a multidisciplinary team, the patient showed a slight brain defect.
