Abstract

A 26-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of cardiac arrest caused by electrocuttion, the duration of the cardiac arrest is unknown. The patient was given ACLS for about 10 - 15 minutes with re-circulation but the pupils were dilated and all reflexes were lost. The patient had a controlled hypothermia of 33 degrees Celsius within 24 hours, maintained at 37 degrees for the next 72 hours. The patient was successfully extubated on day 4 and preliminary assessment of nerve damage completely recovered without leaving any sequelae, discharged after 6 days of treatment. Through this clinical case, we once again want to emphasize the irreplaceable role of hypothermia in the treatment of patients with brain damage after circulatory arrest. Therapeutic hypothemia should be indicated enven if in somecases with cardiac arrest of unknown duration prior to admission and presenting with very poor spontaneous circulation.
