We’re Doing It Wrong! What We SHOULD Be Doing in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest

This presentation describes the incidence of traumatic cardiac arrest, the pathophysiology, as well as the evidence (or lack there of) behind current practices. The presentation then dissects traumatic resuscitation dogma, the evidence behind these practices and offers newer resuscitation approaches based on the most recent literature.
