Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Trauma

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a patient with multiple injuries involves a different approach than in a nontrauma patient. Although the basic principles are the same as dealt with in other chapters of this book, CPR in the trauma victim has to address prevention of cardiopulmonary failure from problems exclusive to the injured patient. This chapter concentrates on these issues and highlights some of the recent developments in the field.
