The National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians (NAEMSP), American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT), and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) believe that evidence-based, pragmatic, and collaborative protocols addressing the care of patients with traumatic out-of-hospital circulatory arrest (TOHCA) are needed to optimize patient outcomes and clinician safety. When the etiology of arrest is unclear, particularly without clear signs of life-threatening trauma, standard basic and advanced cardiac life support (BCLS/ACLS) treatments for medical cardiac arrest is appropriate. Traumatic circulatory arrest may result from massive hemorrhage, airway obstruction, obstructive shock, respiratory disturbances, cardiogenic causes or massive head trauma.

Traumatic tracheobronchial injuries (TTBIs) are rare but potentially life-threatening complications of high-energy thoracic trauma, most commonly associated with road traffic accidents. These injuries demand prompt diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. We present the case of a 16-year-old male patient who sustained a spiral rupture of the right main bronchus following a motorcycle accident.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population, particularly in children under three years of age. This condition often presents with nonspecific respiratory symptoms, leading to delays in diagnosis and an increased risk of severe complications such as pneumothorax and respiratory failure. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old child with FBA complicated by bilateral pneumothorax, severe respiratory acidosis, and left lung collapse.

Anesthetists pose different challenges in burn cases associated with polytrauma. Here, we present a case of a 35-year-old male electrician with an electric burn and a fall from height who sustained major chest trauma (hemothorax, pneumothorax, emphysema, and multiple rib fracture, and bilateral femur fracture). The collocated burn over the spinal region posed the challenge to administering a subarachnoid block, which was overcome with a paramedian approach anesthesia.
