Successful resuscitation after traumatic arrest is extremely rare. It is more rare than bystander field CPR administered to those that are not in actual arrest (unconscious but with a perfusing rhythm).
What was the confirmation of arrest? I have been called numerous to bedside for in hospital "arrest" that turned out to be assessment error - that is with trained medical professionals.
- samtho 3y agoThe value of CPR by is rarely derived from successful resuscitation. In most cases, the person performing CPR is someone who was trained briefly on chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth which to be performed until a EMT arrives or an AED becomes available. The purpose of this procedure is to get some, however small, bit of oxygen into the patient to prevent brain damage.
