[Additional emergency medical measures in trauma-associated cardiac arrest].

DISCUSSION: The percentage of patients who might benefit from additive treatment implemented in tCPR efforts was shown to be equal between the local situations in Leipzig and Chemnitz compared to previous reports in Berlin. A need for optimizing the professional resuscitation process still remains as not all reversible causes were appropriately addressed. Further training and education should intensively address the mentioned deficits and continuous awareness of necessary additional medical procedures in the preclinical setting in cases of traumatic cardiac arrest is inevitable. Cooperation with forensic institutes can help to impart particular issues and treatment options of emergency medicine in cases of potentially reversible causes of traumatic cardiac arrest.
