Abstract
We report a case of on scene resuscitative thoracotomy performed by an anaesthetist on a patient in cardiac arrest following a stab wound to the chest. The patient made a good recovery and was discharged from hospital within 2 weeks. The rationale for performing resuscitative thoracotomy and who should perform this procedure are discussed.Entities:
