I was reading the news when I stumbled across this gem. Apparently, a man was in the hospital when he suffered from an aortic dissection. Went into cardiac arrest, but was still somehow awake/aware during CPR. It was reported that he got multiple doses of epinephrine, so Im assuming full ACLS type care for 90 minutes before they terminated the code and the patient died.
How is it even possible that someone would be aware during CPR? And for 90 minutes no less. I guess we cant ask the guy since he ended up passing away.....
Doctors report strange case of man who stayed awake during cardiac arrest
