Surgery referral was taken in v/o pain abdomen and abdominal distention.

DRE: anal spincter tone: normal, rectum loaded, gloved finger stained with fecal matter, 

Advised x-ray abdomen supine which came out to be normal.

So no active surgical intervention.


At 4:00 AM on 17/6/21 patient suddenly became unresponsive with no recordable PR/BP/SpO2. 

CPR was initiated acc. To 2015 AHA guidelines and patient was intubated with ET 7.0 

4:00AM BP/PR - NR- CPR Initiated, INJ ADRENALINE 1MG IV/ STAT 

4:05AM BP/PR - NR - CPR Continued , INJ ADRENALINE 1MG/ IV STAT 

4:10 AM BP/PR - NR - CPR Continued , INJ ADRENALINE 1MG/ IV STAT 

4:15 AM BP/PR - NR - CPR Continued , INJ ADRENALINE 1MG/ IV STAT 

4:20 AM BP/PR - NR - CPR Continued , INJ ADRENALINE 1MG/ IV STAT 

4:25 AM BP/PR - NR - CPR Continued , INJ ADRENALINE 1MG/ IV STAT 

4:30 AM BP/PR - NR 

Despite of the above resuscitatiove measures patient couldn't be revived and declared dead at 4:37 AM on 17/6/21.
