Complex trauma resuscitations Blunt cardiac injury represents a range of conditions from clinically silent to fatal injuries. Hemorrhagic shock is the most common etiology of instability in trauma and should always be highest on the differential. Posterior circulation stroke Patients with posterior strokes will likely have a low NIH.

Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of blood clots, strokes, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. It’s essential to note that atrial flutter also carries a potential risk of stroke. Administering an electric shock to the heart in cases of ventricular fibrillation increases the patient’s chance of survival.

Either approach in severe sepsis with shock seems reasonable.
