摘要
A 56-year-old male, a known case of diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease, presented with bilateral pneumonia complicated by ARDS and septic shock. He was on invasive ventilation with 85% FiO2 and receiving a high-dose noradrenaline infusion. At 4 am, during sponging, the patient’s central venous access was accidentally dislodged. He subsequently suffered a cardiac arrest. CPR was performed, and he was successfully revived. However, the patient sustained significant hypoxic brain and cardiac damage.
