Abstract
A 54-year-old male developed ventricular fibrillation during right coronary angiography. Cough cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 30 sec allowing the patient to remain alert and hemodynamically stable. Cough cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a simple, often overlooked technique that can be utilized during resuscitation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
