SOLVED1713

what is the diagnosis: A 14 year old male is brought by ambulance in cardiac arrest post being struck to the chest with a softball, during a school sports carnival. On arrival the paramedics found the patient receiving effective CPR by his sports coach. The initial rhythm showed ventricular fibrillation (VF), and prompt defibrillation was attempted; however the patient failed to revert back into a perfusing rhythm. On arrival in hospital you assess the patient (who has now been in cardiac arrest for 40 minutes), and notice he is in a fine ventricular fibrillation on the monitor. IV access is secured and you start administering standard resuscitation drugs, and attempt defibrillation another 8 times, with no success. The patient’s family is now present in the room, and you explain that their son has been in cardiac arrest for over an hour but is not responding to treatment. Afterwards you call the code and comfort the family.
