Management and outcome of patients with cardiac arrest after avalanche accidents in the Swiss Alps: A retrospective analysis
Patients who suffer a CA in avalanche accidents have a very poor outcome. A high proportion of patients were not tracheally intubated during transport, cooled down further during resuscitation and transport or were not transported to ECLS centres although indicated. On the other hand, the outcome of ECLS patients is extremely poor.
