A trauma patient suffering cardiac arrest after a motorcycle accident was brought back to circulation through rapid intervention at Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Medical City.
SEHA, a PureHealth subsidiary, said the patient arrived at the emergency department with severe chest trauma and a pelvic fracture. The patient soon developed tension pneumothorax, a critical complication that caused the cardiac arrest.
The emergency team immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A thoracic consultant inserted a chest tube, after which spontaneous circulation returned.
Doctors then transferred the patient urgently to the operating theatre. Surgeons controlled a massive haemothorax while the patient remained in shock, and the patient was admitted after initial stabilisation.
