We describe a case where inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) was successfully initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a younger patient with cardiac arrest related to pulmonary hypertension after disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) postpartum bleeding and hysterectomy. This case illustrates that iNO might be a potential lifesaving tool for resuscitation of patients with cardiac arrest related to pulmonary hypertension, for whom most other resuscitation strategies often are futile.
我们描述了一例病例,在弥漫性血管内凝血(DIC)产后出血和子宫切除术后与肺动脉高压相关的心脏骤停后,一名年轻患者在心肺复苏(CPR)期间成功启动吸入一氧化氮(iNO)。该病例表明,iNO 可能是一种潜在的救生工具,可用于复苏与肺动脉高压相关的心脏骤停患者,对于这些患者,大多数其他复苏策略通常是无效的。
