Study Summary
Resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) is a life saving procedure for patients who have suffered cardiac arrest or are at significant risk of cardiac arrest following significant trauma. The procedure is ideally performed by a surgeon, but in some circumstance must be performed by non-surgical specialists such as Emergency Medicine physicians. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimal RT technique taught to non-surgical specialists in an educational human cadaver lab. The objective was to compare time to successful completion of two different RT techniques; (1) Left Anterolateral Thoracotomy (LAT) and (2) Modified Clamshell Thoracotomy (MCT). The investigators hypothesized that the non-surgical specialist time to successful completion for the MCT would be shorter than for the LAT.
Interventions
