Hemorrhagic Shock due to Internal Thoracic Artery Injury After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the risk of hemorrhagic shock from internal thoracic artery injury following CPR.
Observational assessment of internal thoracic artery injury incidents post-CPR
Analysis of fluid resuscitation effects on bleeding detection
Monitoring hemodynamic stability after return of spontaneous circulation
Internal thoracic artery injuries were noted in CPR cases
Aggressive fluid resuscitation did not always reveal additional bleeding
Persistent hemodynamic instability indicated possible CPR-related hemorrhagic complications

Abstract

ABSTRACT Internal thoracic artery injury can occur after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Aggressive fluid resuscitation may mask additional bleeding sites in cases of hemorrhage‐induced cardiac arrest. Persistent hemodynamic instability after return of spontaneous circulation should prompt evaluation for CPR‐related hemorrhagic complications.
