dc.description.abstract	Cardiac arrest is classified based on whether it is treatable using defibrillation or not. It is classified as shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia), or non-shockable (asystole and pulseless electrical activity). We present a case of a 72-year-old male Saudi patient not known to have any medical illness that was involved in a road traffic accident. He was brought in dead on arrival, and initially managed as a case of trauma, only to discover later that he had ventricular tachycardia just before the trauma. He was successfully resuscitated and discharged after 8 days	en_US
