let me say,that i am very fascinated with CRP and life/death. my neighbor has been a ER/ICU RN for over 35 years at a major hospital. i have asked him if in his long line of work has he ever seen a patient who presented with an initial rhythm of asystole get discharged from the hospital. he told me that he only remembers one such case and it was a 21 yr. old male who had hyperkalemia and went into asystole,and eventually was able to get a ROSC and get discharged from the hospital. i am curious,have any of you had a patient/patients who presented with asystole and were discharged from the hospital?? thanks very much.
