Abstract

1. 1. We have presented a brief review of the history of cardiac arrest and its management. 2. 2. A case is presented in which the heart was inactive for sixteen minutes. After manual massage it resumed its activity and the patient made a complete recovery. 3. 3. We believe that the anterior traristhoracic approach in such emergencies is the method of choice. 4. 4. Auxiliary measures, e.g., adrenal cortical extract, mechanical resuscitation and glutamic acid, were also used and are discussed. 5. 5. Glutamic acid therapy apparently aided mental and physical recovery which were definitely lessened when a placebo was substituted on two occasions.
