UPDATE
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome with Atrial Fibrillation
Traumatic Cardiac Arrest Algorithm from the European Resuscitation Council
- don’t do CPR
- control catastrophic haemorrhage
- control the airway
- bilateral chest decompressions
- relieve cardiac tamponade
- consider prox aortic compression
- MTP
- CPR can commence once the chest procedures have been completed but in the context of trauma and hemorrhagic loss your CPR will be useless if you don’t correct the underlying cause.
