WATCH OUR LATEST VIDEOS: Traumatic CIRCULATORY Arrest | Podcast for...

A young patient is ejected from a vehicle at highway speed and found pulseless and apneic with bystander CPR underway. What follows is an intense, rapidly evolving traumatic cardiac arrest resuscitation involving bilateral chest decompression, advanced airway management, ultrasound, defibrillation, prehospital blood products, helicopter EMS—and an extraordinary team effort to achieve ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation). The story ends with multiple lives changed forever.

The discussion also explores an important part of emergency medicine that is often neglected: taking care of the responders who were on the scene.
