A patient with acute pulmonary embolism suffered cardiac arrest, received manual and mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation and tissue plasminogen activator before extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated. She suffered a type B aortic dissection and retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to resuscitation measures. This case report describes high-risk anticoagulation management for contradicting treatment goals in preparation for pulmonary embolectomy on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Background: Identifying spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is challenging. Current methods, which involve intermittent and time-consuming pulse checks, necessitate pauses in chest compressions. This issue is problematic in both in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations, where resources for identifying circulation during CPR may be limited.

Background: Tramadol is an adulterant of illicit opioids. As it is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor as well as a μ-opioid agonist, tramadol adulteration may worsen overdose signs and symptoms or affect the amount of naloxone patients receive.
Methods: This is a multicenter, prospective cohort of adult patients with suspected opioid overdoses who presented to one of eight United States emergency departments and were included in the Toxicology Investigators Consortium's Fentalog Study.
Iron Deficiency Promotes Intra-leaflet Haemorrhage-induced Aortic Valve Calcification: an Experimental Study.
Int J Surg
December 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Background: Interleaflet haemorrhage (IH) plays a well-recognized detrimental role in calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, IH-induced fibro-osteogenic responses in valvular interstitial cells (VICs) appear to be triggered under specific pathological conditions. Iron deficiency (ID), a common co-morbidity in CAVD, may influence these responses.
