A member asked:
What does "pulmonary embolectomy with cardiac arrest and rosc", mean? they did use cpb during procedure
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated.: Here is the breakdown. There was a blood clot in the lungs that was removed surgically. During the procedure, the heart stopped. With CPR, the heart restarted and starting pumping normally (ROSC = return on spontaneous circulation). The use of CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) is not indicated in a situation like this. Hope this helped.
