Abstract
Post-cardiac arrest brain injury remains a major cause of mortality in perioperative cardiac arrest, although intraoperative events are uncommon due to pre-procedural preparations, risk-benefit anticipation, and a controlled working environment. Herein, we describe the successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation of a 57-year-old male with a C2-C3 schwannoma who experienced intraoperative cardiac arrest due to massive blood loss during a C2-C3 laminectomy and excision of tumor while in a prone position. The intricacies and effectiveness of resuscitation in a prone position, as well as neuroprotective strategies in the perioperative setting to optimize functional outcomes, will be discussed.
