A 17-year-old boy suffered cardiac arrest after being electrocuted. Bystanders began chest compressions and he was brought to the emergency room. In the ER, he was found to have ventricular fibrillation and CPR was performed, with return of spontaneous circulation achieved after 30 minutes. He was transferred to the ICU on a ventilator and medications to support his blood pressure. Over subsequent days, his condition improved and he was extubated on day 3 and discharged on day 6 in normal condition. Cardiac arrest is a major public health issue in India, with over 4 million cases per year and most occurring outside of hospitals with few receiving immediate CPR.
