1/🧵 This #Trauma #MorningPaper is a retrospective study of 284 cases of traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) in Sweden, mostly men with mean age of 38. Are our attempts always futile? @SMHMajorTrauma @nottsurgeon @ShehanHett @karimbrohi @londonsdrcosmo @e1v1m1

2/ The study region has no #REBOA or prehospital resus thoracotomy services. 90.1% of TCA were prehospital with 64.8% from blunt injuries. Only 6.7% had shockable rhythm.
29.9% survived to ICU with mean days on ventilator of 3d. Only 10% survived to 30 days (GOS 3 or 4 mostly).

3/ In-hospital TCA had a much higher chance of survival (42.9% vs 7.0%) - but remember there is no prehospital thoracotomy/aortic compression/REBOA services, therefore I'm not sure how applicable this data is if setup were different. @viseshsankaran @traumakhan @WilsonMSJ

Our publication timing coincides with a brutal #July4th weekend where #Philadelphia saw over 30 people shot including several children
But how did the #pandemic and #socialdistancing mandate affect trauma volume in our centers?
