Therapies and Procedures

1. Resuscitation
01/01/2006 - "Some events, such as a patient who has rigor mortis, are excluded as a false or inappropriate call in some hospitals and included as an unsuccessful resuscitation in others. "
01/01/2006 - "These included an event where the patient had regained consciousness prior to the arrival of the cardiac team and also an event where rigor mortis was already present and the resuscitation promptly abandoned upon the arrival of the cardiac arrest team. "
02/01/1998 - "Out of 780 autopsies, 229 showed postmortem artifacts which included decomposition in 78, animal and insects producing changes in 45, injuries due to rough handling in 40, breaking of rigor mortis and shifting of postmortem lividity during transportation in 37, iatrogenic fracture of skull during opening in 15, fractured ribs during resuscitation after death in 8 and exhumation producing fractures of bones in 6 bodies."
07/01/2002 - "At the time of the study (summer 2000), 23 trusts operated separate policies for recognition of death and termination of resuscitation, two had policies for recognition of death alone, two had policies for termination of resuscitation alone, five operated a policy purely for termination of resuscitation attempts after a limited period of CPR, and seven had no protocols other than "the presence of rigor mortis, postmortem staining or injuries incompatible with life". "
11/14/2018 - "Successful resuscitation for cardiac arrest due to severe accidental hypothermia accompanied by mandibular rigidity: a case of cold stiffening mimicking rigor mortis."
