TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Successful resuscitation from cardiopulmonary arrest following deliberate inhalation of Freon refrigerant gas JO - Delaware medical journal A1 - Brilliant, L. C. A1 - Grillo, A. SP - 375 EP - 378 VL - 65 IS - 6 N2 - Presented is a case of successful resuscitation of cardiopulmonary arrest following inhalation of a fluorinated hydrocarbon. Fluorinated hydrocarbons have a direct cardiotoxic effect. We found no previous reports describing resuscitation with good neurologic outcome of a patient in cardiopulmonary arrest subsequent to inhalation of a fluorinated hydrocarbon. Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ACLS provider intervention help to contribute to improved patient survival. We present a case illustrating the utility of basic life support and early advanced life support, followed by a review of the pertinent literature.
