Because the patient had asystole, was resuscitated without difficulty, and had no neurologic function, suspected a cerebral hemorrhage was suspected as the etiology of the arrest, specifically subarachnoid hemorrhage. This ECG is diagnostic of diffuse subendocardial ischemia. Sprenkle M. Bachour FA. Circulation 122:Abstract 101.

Hypothermic Arrest In general, hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest should be aggressively resuscitated. Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. 2,3 If the patient meets criteria for resuscitation, they generally are not declared dead until their core temperature is above 32℃ (“warm and dead”).
