Cardiac Arrest Risk Factors
Cardiac surgery Infants < 1mos old ASA > 3 Prematurity Congenital heart disease (aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, single ventricle) Emergency procedures
Medication-Related Cardiac Arrest Etiologies
Anesthetic overdose Succinylcholine Neostigmine induced Medication error/swap Drug reactions Inadvertent IV local anesthetic injection LAST High spinal Inadequate paralytic reversal Opioid-induced respiratory depression
Cardiovascular Causes
Hypovolemia Hemorrhage Inadequate volume administration Hyperkalemia Hypocalcemia Hypoglycemia Vagal Central line → dysrhythmias, hemorrhage, tamponade Embolism (air, clot, fat) Malignant hyperthermia Hypothermia Myocardial infarction Sepsis Adrenal insufficiency
Respiratory Causes
Inadequate oxygenation/ventilation
Inability to ventilate i.e. laryngospasm, bronchospasm, or mediastinal mass
ETT misplacement, kink, plug, or accidental extubation
Difficult airway anatomy
Residual neuromuscular blocker
Aspiration
Pneumothorax
ROSC
Return of spontaneous circulation
Restoration a perfusing rhythm & BP that persists at least 20min post arrest
