1,2 Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) (hyperthermia, autonomic instability, rigidity, altered mental status [AMS]) can occur as well and is most often seen with clozapine but has been observed with other atypicals. Rigidity and hyperthermia should raise concerns for NMS. 1 Seizures may occur due to lowered seizure threshold.

Research interests include simulation-based assessment, transport medicine, and critical care analgesia. Intervention: * Vector Change Defibrillation: Pads are placed in an anterior-posterior pad placement after standard anterior-anterior configuration following the third shock with standard defibrillation.

But, they may present postnatally with cyanosis/hypoxaemia due to insufficient pulmonary blood flow, cardiogenic shock due to insufficient systemic blood flow, or both. The JET is treated by deepening sedation (to minimise exogenous and endogenous catecholamines), optimizing electrolytes and active mild hypothermia. 2017;51(1):50-57.

Early work on TTM in 2002 showed benefit to cooling to 33 degrees Celsius, which subsequently influenced international resuscitation guidelines to recommend mild hypothermia at 32 degrees to 34 degrees Celsius in 2005. Adding nuance, this study also showed that the highest-severity arrests did not benefit from hypothermia.

Written by: Elizabeth Stulpin, MD (NUEM ‘23) Edited by: Aaron Wibberly, MD (NUEM ‘22) Expert Commentary by : Joshua Zimmerman, MD (NUEM ‘17) Non-Response to Vasopressors Shock is defined as a state of cellular and tissue hypoxia resulting in end organ dysfunction. And for most forms, EM physicians are not typically shocked by shock.

Thus, ST management has been heavily based on lay opinion, and until recently, lightly on peer-reviewed research. In contrast, shock (leading to syncope and rarely cardiac arrest) from ST can occur well before mechanisms of crush injury come into play, with low-flow states described as early as within 6 minutes (2). .

In 1983 I was an Englishman abroad, the London anaesthetist who was appointed to be the English anaesthetist on the Shock Team only because the outstanding candidate from Oxford had preferred to take up a job doing muscle relaxant research with Kitz and Katz in the USA. 4] The research agenda at the time was broad.
