Cardiac arrest

Classification according to ICD-10
I46.0	Cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation
I46.1	Sudden cardiac death, as described
I46.9	Cardiac arrest, unspecified
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

Cardiac arrest is a term used in medicine for no longer or no longer sufficiently beating heart . There are two different forms:

• The spontaneous cardiac arrest (with sudden collapse of the affected person) is triggered by ventricular fibrillation , asystole or electromechanical decoupling (for example, by a heart attack or electrical accident ), which causes cardiac arrest and leads to death if no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (resuscitation, in particular the chest compression ) is performed.
• The artificially induced ( induced or pharmacological ) cardiac arrest (cardioplegia) is triggered during an operation by injecting cardioplegic solution (or cardioplegic solution) into the coronary arteries . It reduces the oxygen demand of the heart muscle from approx. 10 to approx. 0.05  milliliters per 100 grams of heart tissue per minute and allows operations with great precision on the heart that is no longer beating (e.g. bypass surgery ). Cardioplegic solutions have different pharmacological compositions, usually contain a lot of potassium and magnesium and are used ice-cold (approx. 4 ° C). The function of the circulatory system is maintained by a heart-lung machine during artificial cardiac arrest .
