Sammanfattning

Resuscitation after cardiac arrest is unlikely if a reversible cause is not identified and treated. The potentially reversible causes can be described as hypoxia, hypovolaemia, hypo-/hyper-kalaemia/other metabolic disorders, hypothermia and tension pneumothorax, tamponade (cardiac), toxins and thrombus. We report a case in which thrombolysis was used successfully during prolonged resuscitation. The patient was later confirmed to have had a massive pulmonary embolus. He was discharged to his home 13 days after cardiac arrest without any sign of neurological deficit.
