The impact of out-of-hospital time and prehospital intubation on return of spontaneous circulation following resuscitative thoracotomy in traumatic cardiac arrest

Conclusions: There was a significant association between prehospital intubation and lower likelihoods of ROSC in the penetrating TCA population requiring RT, as well as with the absence of prehospital SOL in all patients. OOHT did not appear to significantly impact ROSC or survival.PMID:38015060 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2285390
