Abstract
When electromechanical dissociation is secondary to other conditions, immediate treatment may be lifesaving. Proper management depends on clear knowledge of possible causes and swift clinical identification without detailed investigation. In this article, Dr Kothari briefly describes the various factors that contribute to this formidable problem.Keywords
