Breathing over an extended period of time near maximum capacity can cause metabolic acidosis or hypoxemia, ultimately leading to respiratory muscle weakness. [12] Cardiac arrest (independent of the underlying reason) will lead to respiratory arrest within minutes. [13]
The underlying causes of sudden cardiac arrest can result from cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies. The most common underlying causes are different, depending on the patient's age. Common cardiac causes include coronary artery disease, non-atherosclerotic coronary artery abnormalities, structural heart damage, and inherited arrhythmias. Common ...
A 4-year-old girl went into cardiac arrest, landing in a coma with brain damage following complications from the flu. Locklynn Boler first tested positive for the flu on Feb. 21, her family told ...
Pulmonary edema can cause permanent organ damage, and when sudden (acute), can lead to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest due to hypoxia. [7] The term edema is from the Greek οἴδημα ( oidēma , "swelling"), from οἰδέω ( oidéō , "(I) swell").
The study, in the journal JAMA Network Open, compared episodes of sudden cardiac arrest and cardiac deaths among young, competitive athletes before the pandemic — from 2017 to 2019 — with ...
One other thing that can potentially cause cardiac arrest is myocarditis, but according to Panhwar, myocarditis has to be acute and severe enough to trigger cardiac arrest. Most people will ...
The duration of problems can vary from hours to months. Complications may include heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy or cardiac arrest. [1] Myocarditis is most often due to a viral infection. [1] Other causes include bacterial infections, certain medications, toxins and autoimmune disorders.
Cardiac arrest can also occur after a hard blow to the chest at a precise moment in the cardiac cycle, which is known as commotio cordis. Other traumatic events such as high speed car crashes can cause sufficient structural damage to induce arrest.
