Emergent CT findings of impending cardiac arrest: a report of 4 cases

초록

We report CT findings of 4 patients who experienced sudden cardiac arrest. The CT features documented in our cases include dense opacification of the right heart and major systemic veins, venous layering of contrast material and blood, densely opacified parenchyma in the right hepatic lobe, decreased enhancement of the abdominal organ, dense pulmonary artery, contrast pooling in dependent lungs, and contrast stasis in pulmonary veins. Familiarity with characteristic CT findings of impending cardiac arrest is essential for immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
