Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Cardiac arrest

An abrupt loss of heart function.

Sickle Cell Disease, Severe Acidosis, and Inhalation Injury: Case Report of Neurologically Intact Survival After Cardiac Arrest From Smoke Inhalation.
Siddiqui Z, Ladha P, Dissanaike S.
J Burn Care Res. 2017;38(3):e686-e688.
We present the unusual case of complete neurologic survival after prolonged hypoxia, severe acidosis, out of hospital cardiac arrest, and exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide poisoning in a patient with sickle cell disease.

Cooling the crisis: therapeutic hypothermia after sickle cardiac arrest.
Metske HA, Postema PG, Biemond BJ, Bouman CS.
Crit Care Med. 2012;40(2):651-3.
Mild therapeutic hypothermia may improve survival and neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest, however, it may also precipitate sickling in patients with sickle-cell disease.
