A Case of Tumor Lysis Syndrome Complicated by Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation - Case Reports of the LifePACT Critical Care Transport Team.

Hematologic/Oncologic emergencies are rarely seen in the critical care transport environment but must be recognized and treated without delay. We report such a patient transported from a referring hospital to a tertiary care center by the LifePACT team, a 52-year-old male with a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The patient presented to the referring hospital with known laboratory test abnormalities, suffered cardiac arrest, was resuscitated, accepted for transfer to a tertiary care center, and LifePACT was requested to perform the transport.
