“…This is supported by the findings that severe head or abdominal injuries in conjunction with thoracic trauma are independent predictors of mortality. Our model also demonstrated that cardiac arrest as an independent predictor of death, congruent to the prospective observational findings by Tarmey et al 19 8% of patients who lost cardiac output survived to discharge. Pre-morbid health appears to play an important role in outcome.…”

“…Outcome data from traumatic cardiac arrest in a military setting are limited. A prospective observational study of 52 military TCRA treated at the Role 3 MTF in Camp Bastion reports four survivors (8%) 4. This is compatible with civilian data, despite a more severely injured population.…”

We report a case of traumatic cardiac arrest in a combat casualty who was resuscitated to return of spontaneous circulation despite asystole and no visible cardiac activity on initial ultrasound examination. This return of spontaneous circulation suggests that survival may be possible in traumatic cardiac arrest due to exsanguination, even when there is no demonstrable cardiac activity on ultrasound. Cardiac ultrasonography was performed for 10 s only. We suggest that cardiac ultrasonography should be performed for a minimum of 1 min during volume resuscitation. If absence of cardiac activity is confirmed once the heart is full, and there are no other signs of life (including pupillary reaction), then termination of resuscitation should be considered.
