The authors present certain observations on a female patient with large uterine fibroma, HTA and obesity who underwent a cardiac stop in the moment of excising fibroma out of the peritoneal cavity ; she was resuscitated but the cardiac stop repeated for two times and finally she survived. Four months later, total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was performed with no incidences. We discuss on the intraabdominal pressure increase effect (IAP) more than 10-15 mmHg determining an intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) with negative effects on the tissular and cell perfusions and producing an "abdominal compartment syndrome" (ACS). Intraabdominal hypertension has a significant consequence on the cardio-vascular system by reducing the cardiac pre-charge, cardiac contractility decrease, cardiac flow decrease and post-charge increase. All these changes reduce the heart ability to fit to sudden abdominal decompression and producing a vacuum into the abdominal vessels and stopping the heart by a more significant reducing of the pre-charge and cardiac flow.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007044 Hysterectomy Excision of the uterus. Hysterectomies
D007889 Leiomyoma A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D008150 Lower Body Negative Pressure External decompression applied to the lower body. It is used to study orthostatic intolerance and the effects of gravitation and acceleration, to produce simulated hemorrhage in physiologic research, to assess cardiovascular function, and to reduce abdominal stress during childbirth. Abdominal Decompression,Decompression, Abdominal,LBNP
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D005260 Female Females
D006323 Heart Arrest Cessation of heart beat or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. If it is treated within a few minutes, heart arrest can be reversed in most cases to normal cardiac rhythm and effective circulation.

D016887 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation The artificial substitution of heart and lung action as indicated for HEART ARREST resulting from electric shock, DROWNING, respiratory arrest, or other causes. The two major components of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are artificial ventilation (RESPIRATION, ARTIFICIAL) and closed-chest CARDIAC MASSAGE.
