Alveolar-Capillary Block Syndrome

Alveolar-capillary block syndrome (ACBS) is one of the most dangerous complications during indirect cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the acute period of myocardial infarction, characterized by a sharp decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Observed in acute transmural myocardial infarction of the anterior inferior wall

Alveolar capillary block syndrome is a pathological condition in which blood circulation in the alveoli - the terminal vesicles from which the capillary blood supply begins - is impaired. Alveolar capillary block occurs during lung diseases or other inflammatory processes in the body, when the alveoli are filled with fluid, pus, mucus or other secretions. This condition leads to disruption of gas exchange between the pulmonary alveoli and blood capillaries and limits the flow of oxygen into the body.

Clinical signs of alveolar capillary failure syndrome include severe difficulty breathing, cyanosis (blue discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes), widening of the intercostal spaces and sides of the chest, as well as increased blood pressure and rapid heartbeat. In addition, patients may experience increased body temperature, decreased levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells, and the appearance of
