P

Population

1 patient, 89-year-old male with a history of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and renal dysfunction, who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with an initial rhythm of asystole.

I

Intervention

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) including chest compressions, ventilation, and repeated epinephrine injections (1 mg x 3), followed by glucose-insulin therapy for hyperkalemia.

O

Outcome

Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge with full recovery.hard clinical

Implication
