ABSTRACT
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder with metabolic abnormalities. Prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is predicted to result in death and poor neurological outcomes. This report describes the case of a patient with AN who had an unexpectedly favorable outcome after prolonged CPR. A 12-year-old female with AN presented to the emergency department, requiring intubation due to worsening consciousness and respiratory distress. Refractory hypotension led to cardiac arrest. After 135 minutes of CPR, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (EMCO) was started, and the patient was treated for post-resuscitation management, refeeding syndrome, and sepsis. The cardiac function gradually improved, the patient was weaned from EMCO eight days after admission, and the patient was extubated 30 days after admission. The patient maintained a good central nervous system function. AN patients tend to be youngsters and have a lower metabolism, which may be associated with a favorable neurological prognosis after prolonged CPR.
