Abstract
We described a case of post-resuscitation care for an 81-yr-old male patient. The patient had medical history of schizophrenia and the neuroleptics intoxication was initially suspected, however, bispectral index monitoring showed the value over 70 after 13 hr from the resuscitation and the possibility of an extreme intake of antipsychotics including lithium was excluded. Advanced cardiopulmonary life support was successfully performed and the patient was dehospitalized without any severe neurological complications.
