A Case Report on Nursing Care After Cardiac Arrest in Acute Myocardial Infarction
This article summarizes the successful rescue and nursing experience of a patient with a history of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), who was admitted to the emergency department due to persistent chest pain for 4 hours and impaired consciousness for 3 hours, followed by sudden ventricular fibrillation. Sinus rhythm was restored after three 200J biphasic defibrillations, sustained high-quality chest compressions, and intravenous administration of amiodarone combined with epinephrine. Emergency coronary angiography was planned for secondary PCI, but the procedure was temporarily suspended due to brown gastric fluid (suggesting possible upper gastrointestinal bleeding) and persistent hypotension. Instead, tirofiban (12.5 mg/h) was administered intravenously for antithrombotic therapy, along with endotracheal intubation and volume-controlled mechanical ventilation (V-CMV). A triple sedative-analgesic regimen (midazolam, propofol, and sufentanil) was implemented, supplemented by norepinephrine and dopamine for blood pressure support. The nursing strategies for this case of myocardial infarction complicated by cardiac arrest are presented below.
