- Exsanguination.
- Brain Injury
- Tension/pressure conditions of the chest.
- High-spinal cord injury.

"Witnessed prehospital traumatic arrest: predictors of survival to hospital discharge."
For EMS witnessed arrests, 10% survived to hospital discharge, 22% with ROSC but did not leave hospital, 68% pronounced deceased on arrival or within the ED. #MedTalk

In pediatric resuscitation, what do paramedics do well? A smattering of feedback from some other medical professionals.
Be comfortable that paramedics are good at this stuff. You have the skills you need.

Chemical sedation doesn't come /after/ physical restraint. It's not sequential. Consider them concurrently, and with just enough physical restraint to get chemical sedation on board and expedite your patient to the definitive medical care they need. #MedTalk2024
