Excerpt

We read with interest the paper published in Critical Care by Gräsner and colleagues that strongly emphasizes the importance of encouraging attempts at cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest caused by severe trauma [1]. Despite the interesting content, in our opinion the results presented by Gräsner and colleagues suffer by being derived from databases designed for different purposes (Cardiac Arrest Registry and Trauma Registry). The Cardiac Arrest Registry is a recording system triggered by the code cardiac arrest, while, in presence of trauma, cardiac arrest usually represents the exit code. …
