“…This way, although the survival rate of traumatized patients undergoing EDT has been historically estimated to be, at best, 38%, since the inclusion of protocol-guided timely clamping of the descending thoracic aorta, 90% of survivors have been observed to have no neurological sequelae attributable to the procedure. However, it should be emphasized that, owing to its detrimental effects, aortic clamping should not exceed a duration of 15 minutes, since longer periods are related to a mortality rate that exceeds 80-90% [1][2][3]7,8,10,11 .…”

“…In summary, EDT is a procedure that was born from the need to provide care for critically injured, agonizing patients. Within its institutional protocol, EDT includes essential aspects concerning cardiac massage, electric therapy and blood flow redistribution maneuvers (clamping of the descending thoracic aorta), which are fully applicable to the patient with non-traumatic PEA and that can significantly modify the natural course of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular collapse, thus promoting a benefit in the prognostic indexes related to survival and functionality [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . However, global experience with this encouraging procedure is scarce and its true utility can only be proven with the passage of time and by acquiring experience with its use.…”

“…De esta forma, aunque la tasa de supervivencia de los pacientes traumatizados sujetos a TDU en el mejor de los casos se ha estimado históricamente en un 38%, a partir de la inclusión protocolaria y oportuna del pinzamiento de la aorta torácica descendente se ha observado que en el 90% de los supervivientes no hay secuelas neurológicas adjudicadas al procedimiento. Sin embargo, hay que enfatizar que, debido a sus efectos perjudiciales, el pinzamiento aórtico no debe exceder una duración de 15 minutos, pues lapsos mayores se relacionan con una tasa de mortalidad que sobrepasa el 80-90% [1][2][3]7,8,10,11 .…”

“…En resumen, la TDU es un procedimiento que nació de la necesidad de atender a pacientes agónicos críticamente lesionados. Incluye dentro de su protocolo de institución aspectos esenciales que conciernen al masaje cardiaco, la terapia eléctrica y las maniobras de redistribución del flujo sanguíneo (pinzamiento de la aorta torácica descendente), que son aplicables plenamente al paciente con AESPNT y que pueden modificar significativamente el curso natural de la fisiopatología del colapso cardiovascular, promoviendo un beneficio en los índices pronósticos relativos a la sobrevida y la funcionalidad [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . Sin embargo, la experiencia mundial con este procedimiento alentador es escasa y su verdadera utilidad solo podrá ser comprobada con el paso del tiempo y la ganancia de experiencia con su uso.…”

“…Krause et al (1986) suggest the early use of open CPR for those patients who do not respond promptly to defibrillation and airway control. Closed CPR has been described as at best a holding manoeuvre to permit defibrillation to be achieved (Robertson, 1988).…”
