    AbstractWe report on the case of a patient who suffered a cardiac arrest in ventricular fibrillation (VF), leading to a decerebrate state, who made a rapid complete neuronal recovery following the institution of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) was used; the patient remained haemodynamically stable. Flexor responses were seen after 1 1/2 h and the patient regained consciousness within 3 h. There were no complications associated with the procedure except some minor gastric bleeding, which did not need any specific therapy.
