Background: The current report describes a case of stomach perforation, a rare but serious complication, that occurred during cardiopulmonary resuscitation following severe cibenzoline intoxication.
Case Presentation: A woman aged in her 30s was brought into our hospital while receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation for pulseless electrical activity. After starting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), her abdominal X-ray examination revealed free air in her abdomen. She was diagnosed with internal gastric perforation. An emergency operation was carried out while the circulation was maintained using ECMO. As the patient's blood cibenzoline concentration on admission was 3,868 ng/mL, she was diagnosed with cibenzoline intoxication caused by the self-intake of twice the prescribed dose. She was successfully weaned off ECMO and discharged alive with full recovery.
Conclusion: We successfully treated a case of gastric perforation after pulseless electrical activity requiring ECMO support due to cibenzoline intoxication. Abdominal surgery can be carried out even if ECMO support is needed.

Re-arrest immediately after return of spontaneous circulation: A retrospective observational study of in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: Patients who achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) may re-arrest. This phenomenon has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the immediate (1-min) and short-term (20-min) risks of re-arrest in IHCA.

Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGLs) crises can be triggered by various factors, including norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which worsen symptoms in patients with PPGLs. Therefore, attention should be paid to the potential for serious adverse reactions in patients with PPGLs taking ADHD medications. A 21-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset of severe respiratory and circulatory failure after initiating atomoxetine treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common but preventable condition that can lead to fatal outcomes, such as pulmonary embolism, especially in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
- A study analyzing data from Sweden between 2008-2018 found that VTE was associated with OHCA in 2.0% of individuals, with a median age of 69 and a notable higher prevalence in women, particularly younger women.
- The research highlighted that those with VTE-associated OHCA had a significantly lower 30-day survival rate (2.0%) compared to the overall OHCA population (12%), indicating a need for improved awareness and prevention strategies, especially for women.
External Validation of the RESCUE-IHCA Score as a Predictor for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can help improve outcomes for patients experiencing in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), and the RESCUE-IHCA score was created to predict the outcomes of these patients.
- A study involving 324 ECPR-treated IHCA patients showed that the RESCUE-IHCA score maintained similar performance in predicting mortality compared to the original cohort, with key findings indicating that longer cardiac arrest duration increases mortality risk while certain initial heart rhythms lower that risk.
- Unlike the original study, factors like age, the timing of resuscitation, disease category, and pre-existing renal issues did not significantly correlate with in-hospital death in this Asian medical center's
Survival in relation to number of defibrillation attempts in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with shockable rhythms in relation to the number of defibrillations they received.
- It analyzed data from 10,549 patients in Sweden over a decade, finding that survival rates decreased significantly with each additional defibrillation.
- The results indicate that patients receiving more shocks had lower 30-day survival probabilities, suggesting that after a certain point, additional defibrillations may not be beneficial.
