RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Hyperkalemic cardiac arrest diagnosis can be elusive and management difficult as the cardiac rhythm restoration is often not achieved until the potassium level decreases to a relatively normal level for the patient who suffers the arrest. Current treatment modalities can take hours to achieve this goal. We describe two patients who survived a witnessed hyperkalemic cardiac arrest after being managed with conventional advanced cardiac life support and unconventionally high doses of intravenous insulin.
