Abstract: Seven patients in Connecticut have experienced sudden and unexpected cardiovascular collapse leading to cardiac arrest during routine outpatient hemodialysis since December 18, 2015. Three of the affected patients had evidence suggesting an anaphylactic reaction; all three of these patients died. Five of these events occurred in a single clinic and the remaining two events were in two nearby dialysis clinics owned by the same company. CDC is currently conducting an Epi-Aid to support the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) with their investigation of these events. Because these events could be linked to a healthcare product (e.g., medical device or pharmaceutical) with widespread distribution, broad case-finding efforts are needed. CDC has determined that this information must be collected prior to the expiration of time period established under Part 1320, and that this information is essential to the CDC’s ability to identify a cause of these events and prevent additional events from occurring.
