An evidence-based approach to patient selection for emergency department thoracotomy: A practice management guideline from the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma

TLDR
It is strongly recommend that patients who present pulseless with signs of life after penetrating thoracic injury undergo EDT, and conditionally recommend against EDT for pulseless patients without signs ofLife after blunt injury.
Abstract
BACKGROUNDWithin the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) framework, we performed a systematic review and developed evidence-based recommendations to answer the following PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes) question: should patients who present

Emergency center thoracotomy: impact of prehospital resuscitation.

TL;DR: Prehospital endotracheal intubation prolonged successful toleration of CPR to 9.4 minutes compared with 4.2 minutes for nonintubated surviving patients (p less than 0.001) and is useful in the resuscitation of victims dying of penetrating truncal trauma.
