traumatic basal ganglia hematoma is a rare condition defined as presence of hemorrhagic lesions in basal ganglia or adjacent structures suchas internal capsule, putamen and thalamus. bilateral basal ganglia hematoma are among the devastating and rare condition. we herein report a 28-year old man, a victim of car-car accident who was brought to our surgical emergency room by immediate loss of co...

BACKGROUND Tension and bilateral pneumothorax can cause or contribute to death following trauma. A surgical incision (thoracostomy) or needle decompression through the chest wall rapidly treats these conditions. Resuscitation of patients in traumatic cardiac arrest focuses on treating common and reversible life-threatening conditions. A study was undertaken to observe the practice, findings and...

results according to the studies reviewed, induction of mild hypothermia in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation would lead to increased survival and better neurological outcome; however, studies on the complications of hypothermia or different methods of inducing hypothermia were limited and needed to be studied further. conclusions this study provides strategic issues concerning the i...

In this review, we discuss articles published in 2013 contributing to the existing literature on the management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the evaluation and management of several other emergency conditions, including traumatic injury. The utility of intravenous medications, including epinephrine and amiodarone, in the management of cardiac arrest is questioned, as are cardiac arrest...

Resuscitation 2010: 81(8); 974-81 We aimed to describe the epidemiological features and to determine the predictors for survival to discharge of non-traumatic outof-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Korea.

INTRODUCTION Cardiac arrest following trauma occurs infrequently compared with cardiac aetiology. Within the German Resuscitation Registry a traumatic cause is documented in about 3% of cardiac arrest patients. Regarding the national Trauma Registry, only a few of these trauma patients with cardiac arrest survive. The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcome of cardiopulmonary resusc...

Background The survival rates of Traumatic Cardiac Arrest (TCA) from hypovolaemia remain poor. The underlying pathology differs from medical cardiac arrest and therefore necessitates different management. This has been described in the pre-hospital and resuscitation room setting. Our hypothesis was that response to cardiac arrest from exsanguinating haemorrhage varied widely when it occurred do...
