Abstract

Trauma-related deaths are not only a relevant medical problem but also a socioeconomic one. The care of a polytraumatized patient is one of the less commonly occurring missions in the rescue and emergency medical services. The aim of this article is to compare the similarities and differences between different course concepts and guidelines in the treatment of trauma-related cardiac arrests (TCA) and to filter out the main focus of each concept. Because of the various approaches in the treatment of polytraumatized patients, there are decisive differences between trauma-related cardiac arrests and cardiac arrests from other causes.
