Point-of-care ultrasonography supports for decision-making during a complex mountain rescue operation of 10 h of a trauma patient complicated by multiple cardiac arrests: a case report

This case describes the complexity of managing a severely polytraumatized patient with cardiac arrest in a remote and austere environment. The use of point-of-care ultrasonography was crucial to reduce the likelihood of common causes of traumatic cardiac arrest, and pointed to spinal shock as the most likely etiology, managed thanks to adapting skills of the medical and rescue team.

Abstract

This case describes the complexity of managing a severely polytraumatized patient with cardiac arrest in a remote and austere environment. The use of point-of-care ultrasonography was crucial to reduce the likelihood of common causes of traumatic cardiac arrest, and pointed to spinal shock as the most likely etiology, managed thanks to adapting skills of the medical and rescue team.
