ABSTRACT
The Lazarus phenomenon is defined as delayed ROSC,or ROSC after failure of CPR and cessation of all the emergency medical care,including the cessation of chest compression,mechanical ventilation,and venous fluid resuscitation.It was first reported in 1982 and 53 cases of Lazarus phenomenon have been reported in the medical literature so far.Even though Lazarus phenomenon is rare and the pathophysiological mechanisms are poorly understood,several possible mechanisms are still proposed,which could be rational to explain this phenomenon,such as auto-PEEP,hyperkalemia,alkalosis,delayed action of drugs,etc.In most cases,it was reported that ROSC occurred within 10 minutes after cessation of medical effort.Therefore,before the announcement of death of patient,it is mandatory to monitor those patients for at least 10 minutes after the cessation of CPR.However,more explicit studies seem to be necessary to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon.
