Abstract
|
|
|
|
Since the introduction of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support of cardiac arrest in 1983, emergent cardiopulmonary support has been used to treat cardiac arrest. Acute massive pulmonary embolism is associated with a high mortality rate and it poses a challenge for both the anesthesiologist and the surgeons especially during operations. This report describes the use of the emergent bypass system in the effective management of an intraoperative massive pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest in a 56-year-old woman. The patient was discharged on warfarin and there was no recurrence of the pulmonary embolism at the follow-up visit.
