Outcomes in immediate resuscitative thoracotomy are poor but are improving 4. A recent study evaluated over 2,000 patients meeting inclusion criteria for immediate resuscitative thoracotomy Overall survival rate of 20% 26% survival rate in penetrating trauma 7% survival rate in blunt trauma Predictors for poor outcomes Patient age greater than 60 years Blunt trauma mechanism of injury A prehospital or ED HR less than 60 bpm Absent signs of life at time of ED arrival 5.
