At the 2023 PCCS conference in Edinburgh we chatted to Marie Spiers, Emergency Department consultant in Glasgow, about paediatric traumatic cardiac arrest.
How does traumatic cardiac arrest differ to medical cardiac arrest? Is the treatment different? What should we be focusing on?
What is the point in chest compressions, and when should they be the absolute priority, and when are they a side show? What can studies in pigs show us, and are they extrapolatable? And, crucially, is “unhose” a word? (it’s not, by the way. Apologies).
