Outcomes after Prehospital Traumatic Cardiac Arrest in the Netherlands: a Retrospective Cohort Study
2021, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Several studies have shown that a “scoop and run” approach is preferable in patients with penetrating injury, especially when in hemorrhagic shock [13–15]. An exception to this may be the pulseless patients with cardiac tamponade due to a stab wound, as swift on-scene thoracotomy and decompression of the pericardium can result in ROSC quite successfully [16,17]. For patients with TCA after blunt trauma it is much more difficult to decide which strategy is best, as different injuries may dictate different approaches with regard to on-scene procedures and time.
